Abstract

Concrete is a ubiquitous material in urban environments and increasingly used by industry and the maker movement. However, there is little research about its affordance and its potential for embedded User Interfaces (UI). In our ongoing work, we investigate different manufacturing processes and design strategies to change and adapt the affordances of concrete to make it appear interactive. We tested three interface elements, a button, a scroll wheel, and a slider, with 33 participants in a lab elicitation study. Each was created in two versions following two design strategies, one with a more natural look, the other more abstract. Five participants then bodystormed ideas with the prototypes in an outdoor environment. Based on our explorations, we discuss design considerations for creating concrete interfaces including the potential of both design strategies and present different application scenarios.

User-Elicited Gestural Interaction With Future In-Car Holographic 3D Displays
MUM '21: Proceedings of the 20th International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Multimedia

Holographic 3D displays (H3D) have the potential to expand the interaction space for in-car infotainment systems by providing a larger depth range than other state of the art 3D display technologies. This work explored how non-expert users would ...
Calibration Error Prediction: Ensuring High-Quality Mobile Eye-Tracking
ETRA '22: 2022 Symposium on Eye Tracking Research and Applications

Gaze calibration is common in traditional infrared oculographic eye tracking. However, it is not well studied in visible-light mobile/remote eye tracking. We developed a lightweight real-time gaze error estimator and analyzed calibration errors from two ...
Using the Uncalibrated Eye Tracker Signal in the Gaming Environment
ETRA '20 Short Papers: ACM Symposium on Eye Tracking Research and Applications

It seems that controlling games with the eyes should be very intuitive and obvious. However, eye-controlled games have not become very popular yet. One of the reasons is – in our opinion – the necessity of eye tracker calibration before its every usage. ...
