    AmbiGlasses - Information in the Periphery of the Visual Field
    (Mensch & Computer 2012: interaktiv informiert – allgegenwärtig und allumfassend!?, 2012) Poppinga, Benjamin; Henze, Niels; Fortmann, Jutta; Heuten, Wilko; Boll, Susanne
    While more and more digital information becomes available, the demand to access information whenever and wherever increases. However, ubiquitous information provision often interferes with the user's primary tasks such as walking, driving, or reading. In this paper we present a mobile device called AmbiGlasses, a pair of glasses with 12 LEDs that illuminate the periphery of the user's field of view. A conducted user study shows that participants are able to locate the correct LED with 71% accuracy and estimate the rough location of the LED with 92% accuracy. Participants were further asked to exemplary design visualization configurations for four directions. Consistent results show that different participants encode directions with similar patterns. We argue that the AmbiGlasses can therefore be used to convey clear and intuitive navigation instructions.

    Interaktive Systeme für die persönliche Gesundheit
    (Informatik-Spektrum: Vol. 37, No. 5, 2014) Boll, Susanne; Heuten, Wilko; Poppinga, Benjamin; Müller, Heiko; Fortmann, Jutta; Timmermann, Janko; Meyer, Jochen
    In der heutigen Zeit sind sogenannte Volkskrankheiten, korrekt verhaltensbedingte Krankheiten wie Herzerkrankungen, Schlaganfall oder Diabetes zur Haupttodesursache weltweit geworden. Hier scheint es naheliegend, zu untersuchen, inwieweit mobile und tragbare Systeme intelligente und hilfreiche Gesundheitsbegleiter sein können. Dieser Artikel stellt Forschungsansätze in verschiedenen Lebensbereichen vor, in denen interaktive Systeme zur Motivation eines gesunden Lebensstils eingesetzt werden können. Wir zeigen Herausforderungen auf, die diese Systeme an die Mensch-Maschine Interaktion stellen und stellen Methoden zur Entwicklung solcher Systeme vor.

    Natch: A Watch-like Display for Less Distracting Pedestrian Navigation
    (Mensch & Computer 2010: Interaktive Kulturen, 2010) Pielot, Martin; Poppinga, Benjamin; Vester, Björn; Kazakova, Anastasia; Brammer, Lennard; Boll, Susanne
    Modern Smartphones have enabled navigation system developers to provide their solutions to pedestrians. However, interacting with mobile devices can result in distraction and fragmented attention. We therefore investigated how the navigation systems’ information presentation can be designed in a less distracting way. We propose a prototype called Natch (short for navigation watch): on a wrist-mounted display a reduced set of navigation information is displayed (direction, distance to next decision point and street name). In addition, a vibration motor sewn into the watchstrap is used to alert the user when reaching a decision point. In a field study we investigated if this design distracts the user less than a commercial Smartphone-based navigation system. Nine participants navigated through a city centre with both devices. The results show that Natch users made less navigation errors, felt less visible, and were less distracted by the device.
