We also report some initial findings of the preliminary conducted evaluation study.","PeriodicalId":250565,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the International Working Conference on Advanced Visual Interfaces","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124543981","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}

Foot interaction has the potential of being an intuitive, easy to use and enjoyable way of interaction. However, there are very few guidelines for using foot interaction, or specifically foot gestures.

We analyze how foot gestures differentiate from hand gestures, point out foot gesture properties and discuss general observations.","PeriodicalId":250565,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the International Working Conference on Advanced Visual Interfaces","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124522948","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 error rates of BCIs range from 5% up to 60%. In this paper, we assess the subjective frustration, motivation, and fatigue of BCI users, when confronted to different levels of error rate. We conducted a BCI experiment in which the error rate was artificially controlled. Our results first show that a prolonged use of BCI significantly increases the perceived fatigue, and induces a drop in motivation. We also found that user frustration increases with the error rate of the system but this increase does not seem critical for small differences of error rate. Thus, for future BCIs, we would advise to favor user comfort over accuracy when the potential gain of accuracy remains small.","PeriodicalId":250565,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the International Working Conference on Advanced Visual Interfaces","volume":"221 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133446368","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}

In this paper we explore the use of gestural interaction with a smartwatch to support text input. The inertial measurement unit of a smartwatch is used to capture gestural interaction by a user, and an external display is used to provide feedback. We examine two specific variants of gesture keyboards: the swype keyboard common on modern smartphones and the cirrin keyboard, a gestural keyboard that supports character input via directional gestures. We show, first, that freearm gestural input as sensed by a smartwatch exhibits similar efficiency as freearm gestural input sensed by motion capture systems. As well, we show that the smartwatch inertial measurement unit can support text input on ubiquitous computing displays.","PeriodicalId":250565,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the International Working Conference on Advanced Visual Interfaces","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125788802","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}

In this context, future analytics tools need easy-to-use techniques to reveal relations between columns of data in a spreadsheet or table. For example, a market analyst, may want to find if industry categories and funding amounts are related: i.e., if some industries receive amounts within distinctive intervals. Traditional filtering and script-based querying poorly support non-expert users in such explorations because they require iterative parameter adjusting and query writing until a meaningful result is found. In this paper, we focus on supporting the analysis of relationships between categorical and numerical columns. We present a novel visualization, Interver, which dynamically reveals insights as the user selects an interval within the relationship. With a concrete scenario, specific analysis tasks, and an informal evaluation, we show how Interver can help non-expert analysts self-serve and answer realistic questions.","PeriodicalId":250565,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the International Working Conference on Advanced Visual Interfaces","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129493968","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 paper describes an extensive empirical study that has been performed for 5 weeks in a top-level fashion store located in one of the trendiest and crowed shopping areas in Milan (Italy), where we installed a sophisticate smart lighting system and created three different light configurations (static, dynamic, and interactive). The goal of the study is to explore the shopping experience in front of the shop in these different experimental conditions. Users' data were gathered in three ways: i) automatic collection of data from over >300.000 people passing by or stopping in front of the shop windows of the store; ii) live observation of approximately 600 passers-by; iii) questionnaires submitted to 62 persons in front of the shop. Users' data provide empirical evidence that interactive smart lights have the potential to increase the attractiveness of shopping windows, fostering engagement in passers-by, and in general improve the shopping experience in the brick-and-mortar stores.","PeriodicalId":250565,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the International Working Conference on Advanced Visual Interfaces","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129706717","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}

Despite the fact that paper documents still form a significant part of our daily working activities, existing PIM systems usually support the organisation and re-finding of digital documents only. While physical document tracking solutions such as RFID- or computer vision-based systems are recently gaining some attention, they usually focus on the paper document tracking and offer limited support for re-finding activities. We present PimVis, a solution for exploring and re-finding digital and paper documents in so-called cross-media information spaces. The PimVis user interface enables a unified organisation of digital and paper documents through the creation of bidirectional links between the digital and physical information space. The presented personal cross-media information management solution further supports the extension with alternative document tracking techniques as well as augmented reality solutions. A formative PimVis evaluation revealed the high potential of fully integrated cross-media PIM solutions.","PeriodicalId":250565,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the International Working Conference on Advanced Visual Interfaces","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128348988","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}
