ABSTRACT
We present an intrusive evaluation of three different peripheral display systems on the same financial data set. Our results indicate there is a significant difference on a primary task performance and a peripheral comprehension task between large and small displays. Furthermore, we have found that distraction may be composed by display-distraction and self-interruption, and that animation may only influence the display-distraction. In addition, this paper proposes a measurement of efficiency derived from cognitive science. Finally, we propose three guidelines for peripheral display design.

Animation in a peripheral display: distraction, appeal, and information conveyance in varying display configurations
GI '07: Proceedings of Graphics Interface 2007Peripheral displays provide secondary awareness of news and information to people. When such displays are static, the amount of information that can be presented is limited and the display may become boring or routine over time. Adding animation to ...
Peripheral display of digital handwritten notes
CHI '06: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsWe present a system for the peripheral display of digital handwritten notes, motivated by the joint observation that people seldom refer back to their notes and that these notes often contain useful information. We describe the user-led design of the ...
Exploring the design and use of peripheral displays of awareness information
CHI EA '04: CHI '04 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing SystemsPeripheral displays allow users to monitor an information source while focusing on a separate primary task. In this paper, we present our work investigating what form peripheral displays of awareness information from instant messaging programs may take ...
