Abstract
We are developing an intuitive information design that can increase the user’s feeling of reassurance and security when handling private information in public space. We conducted an experiment to collect user responses to displays providing awareness of the activity behind them while they handled private information. Two approaches were examined: a simple two-color LED array and a mirror. The former yielded less distraction and faster response speeds while the latter was more intuitive and offered more reassurance.
