Abstract

Foot positions are features of how humans express their intentions during conversations. This inspired us to investigate the usage of foot expressions during interactions with computers. We conducted an observational study to determine how foot positions correlate with the intentions of users at public displays. Using our findings, we performed a case study to demonstrate the usefulness of adapting content according to the intentions detected based on foot positions. Our results are valuable for researchers designing context-aware public displays.

Foot position as indicator of spatial interest at public displays
CHI EA '13: CHI '13 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems

Motivated by and grounded in observations of foot patterns in a human-human dialogue, this study explores expressions of spatial interest through feet at public displays. We conducted an observation and recorded user foot orientation and position in a ...
Cross-device interaction with large displays in public: insights from both users' and observers' perspectives
OzCHI '17: Proceedings of the 29th Australian Conference on Computer-Human Interaction

1Using a mixture of physical gestures and one's smartphone is a convenient way for people to engage and interact with large displays in public. Yet, one of the challenges of cross-device interactions is to design techniques that encourage participation. ...
3D mobile interactions for public displays
SA '14: SIGGRAPH Asia 2014 Mobile Graphics and Interactive Applications

We propose the use of 3D mobile interactions as a way to give public displays viewers (users) new ways to collaborate among them with the public display. Getting and maintaining the user attention is one of the main struggles of public displays but ...
