    An AR Sandbox as a Collaborative Multiplayer Rehabilitation Tool for Children with ADHD
    (Mensch und Computer 2019 - Workshopband, 2019) Gabele, Mareike; Schröer, Simon; Husslein, Steffi; Hansen, Christian
    Neurofeedback systems have been increasingly utilized in recent years for the treatment of ADHD. However, the disease-specific characteristics and the training motivation are only taken into account to a limited extent, especially for the therapy of children. Inspired by previous research in projector-based AR, we propose a new AR-based multiplayer game with BCI and haptic feedback for the therapy of children with ADHD. We evaluated our approach in an explorative user study with seven domain experts with different backgrounds related to the topic. The results show a harmonious combination of different technologies and that the multiplayer approach and the haptic aspects of the game are suitable and motivating to complement existing therapy methods. The results create an essential basis for further development of patient-oriented neurofeedback systems in ADHD therapy.

    Overcoming the prevention dilemma ? Improving the accessibility of information on support services for families with a digital information platform
    (Proceedings of Mensch und Computer 2024, 2024) Hemmie, Thilo; Wessel, Daniel; Heine, Moreen
    To help ensure children do not suffer when parents are overwhelmed, many countries, including Germany, offer child protective services and family support programs. In Germany, family centers on district-level provide preventative support services. However, the families most in need of their services often face the greatest barriers to accessing these, a situation known as the “prevention dilemma.” A human-centered design process was undertaken, involving family centers and target audiences, to identify and address these barriers. The resulting native app aims to improve accessibility to support services by providing essential information. The evaluation shows the app has a high usability, was well-received by the target audience, and has the potential to mitigate some of the access barriers. This study highlights the importance of accessible support measures for vulnerable families, contributing to improved child welfare.

    Search Engine for Children: User-Centered Design
    (Datenbank-Spektrum: Vol. 17, No. 1, 2017) Gossen, Tatiana; Kotzyba, Michael; Nürnberger, Andreas
    Children are a fast growing user group on the Internet. Among different online activities, children use web search engines in order to gather information related to their personal interests and school activities. Children’s knowledge, cognitive abilities and fine motor skills are different from those of adults. Therefore, they may experience difficulties with search engines that are built using standard information retrieval algorithms and search interfaces for adults. Special or targeted search engines for children are essential in order to better support children in their search tasks. However, the design of search solutions for children is not an easy task. Not only are children’s abilities different from the abilities of adults, children also undergo relatively fast changes in their abilities. In order to tackle this challenge, an age-adaptable information terminal for children with a special focus on the search user interface (SUI) has been developed in three stages following a user-centered design. Specifically, it addresses the changing characteristics of the users by providing a means of adaptation. Several user studies have been conducted with children during the development to ensure the usability of the information terminal.
