Abstract

Previous research on making public interactive displays more relevant to passers-by has focused on using profiles to personalise the content. However, profiles can potentially compromise privacy and may also create barriers for interaction as implementations usually require users to set up a personal profile, for example, through a smartphone app. In this paper, we explore an implicit personalisation approach for public interactive displays as an alternative to user profiles. We present findings from two evaluation studies of public interactive displays that implicitly adapt the display, based on a user's goals and characteristics. From these studies, we build on our definition of implicit personalisation and derive insights into how the user interface and content on public interactive displays should adapt in order to be perceived relevant by their users.
