This, in today's age has become even more critical as the demands of such requirements across major industry verticals (IT and Products) has increased many fold. A practice or motorized approach becomes industrialized when it is full-fledged from an art form to a persistent, repeatable, re-usable function with anticipated results. Such an approach is then accelerated by structured mechanism/ framework called \"User Experience (UX) Mechanism\", so as to achieve far higher levels of working efficiency across design cycles. Such mechanism/ framework has the ability to solve business problems by producing reliable, better and to the point design outcomes through faster and agile approaches. The motorized User Experience (UX) approaches, mechanism/ framework is explained in detail in this white paper and application of the same is described with the help of full proof demonstration of one of the successful cases.","PeriodicalId":214922,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 7th Indian Conference on Human-Computer Interaction","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128192459","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We conducted a study at a special school in North-eastern region of India to understand the needs and problems of these children and their caregivers. Some of the critical findings include the ineffectiveness of the existing teaching methods and the mental exhaustion of teachers while addressing the challenges faced by these children. In this paper, we present CoinBeam, a physical learning system based on tangible interactions which helps these children to learn the concepts of currency denomination splitting. The functioning of the CoinBeam is analogous to the working of a typical beam balance that is used to compare weights. The designed prototype was evaluated with four students in the presence of two teachers and one therapist. Our findings suggest that students are highly motivated in adapting to such learning systems that involve their active participation. While this work focuses on a specific use case, our results indicate some intriguing insights about the collaborative, associative and social aspects of these physical learning systems.","PeriodicalId":214922,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 7th Indian Conference on Human-Computer Interaction","volume":"162 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122461007","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The railway suffers from a lot of accidents and fatalities owing primarily to excessive crowding and people crossing tracks. In 2015 itself, there has been an average of 9 fatalities daily. Over the years this accident data has been recorded and maintained by the railway authorities and the railway police. Data visualization has shown to be effective in studying large amounts of data, making it possible to find patterns and insights by simply exploring the data visually. There have been quite a few initiatives to alleviate the situation of accidents on the Mumbai Railway network. Visualizing the accident data could help identify useful information to act upon. In this hope, we have studied the data, and visualized it. Although the resulting findings were not as insightful as hoped, we have developed a few interactive visualizations to communicate the situation, and to explore the data. We also highlight future possibilities and directions of the project.","PeriodicalId":214922,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 7th Indian Conference on Human-Computer Interaction","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116551965","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a concept Electrome is treated as a hypothetical design construct for interrogating about agency in dwelling, where dwelling is considered to be both, the home and also the being within as a bodily existential experience. This concept is presented in a context where being home means to interact with everyday electro-networks that invariably results in the output of data from bodily practices further reducing as information. With such a concern this article refers to prior anthropological research by Harold Wilhite carried out in South India on the consuming body. By positioning Wilhite's perspective on the consuming body with the body of the Electrome as an art exhibit, this work as an output of design practice firstly engages in a disciplinary dialogue with anthropology. Then by presenting such a design concept through the framework of Constructive Design Research this paper also demonstrates the utilizing of design artifacts for introducing theoretical concepts through design practice. The paper thus demonstrates design practice as a bridge for interpretation, towards theory building and for inter-disciplinary dialogues.","PeriodicalId":214922,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 7th Indian Conference on Human-Computer Interaction","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126149459","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

But, to infer much richer story of context-aware applications, it is necessary to recognize the smartphone surfaces - for example on the sofa, inside the backpack, on the plastic chair, in a drawer or in your pant-pocket. This paper presents SurfaceSense, a two-tier, simple, inexpensive placement-aware technique, that uses smartphone's embedded accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer, microphone and proximity sensor to infer where phone is placed. It does not require any external hardware and provides 91.75% recognition accuracy on 13 different surfaces.","PeriodicalId":214922,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 7th Indian Conference on Human-Computer Interaction","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127119134","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We conducted study aimed to understand the level of awareness and concern, young adolescent girls have towards their body and observed their interactions with the social environment in this regard. This paper describes their common behavioral pattern based on the qualitative user study conducted among fifteen people including twelve adolescent girls, two doctors (gynecologists) and one Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHA) member. This paper further proposes 'SheHealthy', a serious game aimed to generate awareness and educate young adolescent girls among all strata of society towards healthy living and precautions to evict possibilities of encountering PCOS in future.","PeriodicalId":214922,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 7th Indian Conference on Human-Computer Interaction","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130537567","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Several companies, including Google, Paypal, Amazon, Facebook have launched mobile payment solutions. Easy to adopt user interfaces play a pivotal role in wider adoption of such solutions. Typically, existing mobile payment solutions are designed for the user to type in the details of a transaction, like recipient id, amount, authorization code. Use of a pictorial mode to capture the transaction information can make the user interaction easier and faster during a transaction. We use a popular pictorial encoding format, called Quick-Response (QR) code, to auto-fill necessary details during a transaction, thus relieving the user from typing in the details. In this study using 48 participants from different literacy levels, we have compared the use of standard typing based system against inputs using pictorial format for enabling mobile payments. Our study indicates the benefits of QR code in designing UIs for mobile payment applications.","PeriodicalId":214922,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 7th Indian Conference on Human-Computer Interaction","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131991140","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Madhvanath","doi":"10.1145/2835966.2835974","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1145/2835966.2835974","url":null,"abstract":"Crowd sourced mobile microtasking represents a significant opportunity in emerging economies such as India, that are characterized by the high levels of mobile phone penetration and large numbers of educated people that are unemployed or underemployed. Indeed, mobile phones have been used successfully in many parts of the world for microtasking, primarily for crowd sourced data collection, and text or image based tasks. More complex tasks such as annotation of multimedia such as audio or video have traditionally been confined to desktop interfaces. With the rapid evolution in the multimedia capabilities of mobile phones in these geographies, we believe that the nature of microtasks carried out on these devices, as well as the design of interfaces for such microtasks, warrants investigation. In this paper we explore the design of mobile phone interfaces for a set of multimedia-based microtasks on feature phones, which represent the vast majority of multimedia-capable mobile phones in these geographies. As part of an initial study using paper prototypes, we evaluate three types of multimedia content: images, audio and video, and three interfaces for data input: Direct Entry, Scroll Key Input and Key Mapping. We observe that while there are clear interface preferences for image and audio tasks, the user preference for video tasks varies based on the 'task complexity' - the 'density' of data the annotator has to deal with. In a second study, we prototype two different interfaces for video-based annotation tasks - a single screen input method, and a two screen phased interface. We evaluate the two interface designs and the three data input methods studied earlier by means of a user study with 36 participants. Our findings show that where less dense data was concerned; participants prefer Key Mapping as the input technique. For dense data, while participants prefer Key Mapping, our data shows that the accuracy of data input with Key Mapping is significantly lower than that with Scroll Key Input. The study also provides insight into the game plan each user develops and employs to input data. We believe these findingswill enable other researchers to build effective user interfaces for mobile microtasks, and be of value to UI developers, HCI researchers and microtask designers.","PeriodicalId":214922,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 7th Indian Conference on Human-Computer Interaction","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122327311","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
