- muc: langbeitrag (vorträge)Ambient Progress Bar - relaxed and efficient work in waiting periods(Mensch & Computer 2013: Interaktive Vielfalt, 2013) Ostendorp, Marie-Christin; Harre, Andreas; Jacob, Sebastian; Müller, Heiko; Heuten, Wilko; Boll, SusanneThe number of emotionally exhausted employees increases due to deadline pressure and multitasking at work. The compliance with deadlines is even more difficult because of the fact that parallel running subtasks interfere with the concentration on a primary task at the computer. These subtasks cause waiting periods that cannot be efficiently used to continue working on the primary task. To solve this problem we developed the Ambient Progress Bar - an ambient display that provides information about the progress of a parallel running subtask in the periphery of the monitor. After a first design phase in which we analysed the context of use, the requirements of our users via a survey and literature research, we tested our first prototype of the Ambient Progress Bar in an empirical usability evaluation. The refined prototype was further used in two experiments in which we were able to show that users working with the Ambient Progress Bar can continue more efficiently and relaxed with their primary task. Thus the Ambient Progress Bar offers a possibility to reduce stress at work and to ease compliance with deadlines and thereby is one solution to decrease the number of emotionally exhausted employees.
- WorkshopbeitragEine haptische Lichtsteuerung für Senioren in Smart Environments(Mensch und Computer 2015 – Proceedings, 2015) Dielmann, Steffen; Huldtgren, AlinaDiese Arbeit befasst sich mit der Konzeption und prototypischen Umsetzung einer Lichtsteuerung für Senioren, die einfach und intuitiv bedienbar sein soll. Auf existierende Lösungen wie eine Smartphone-App soll dabei bewusst verzichtet werden, um auch weniger Technik-affinen Senioren den Zugang zu ermöglichen. Entstanden ist ein Tangible User Interface, das auf der mentalen Verknüpfung von Bildern mit bestimmten Beleuchtungssituationen basiert. Mit RFID-Tags markierte Bilder werden auf einem Lesegerät platziert und lösen eine entsprechende Lichtänderung im Raum aus. Ein Nutzertest zeigt, dass der Prototyp von Senioren ohne Anleitung innerhalb kurzer Zeit bedient werden kann.
- WorkshopbeitragLumicons: Mapping Light Patterns to Information Classes(Mensch und Computer 2015 – Proceedings, 2015) Rauschenberger, Maria; Matviienko, Andrii; Cobus, Vanessa; Timmermann, Janko; Müller, Heiko; Löcken, Andreas; Fortmann, Jutta; Trappe, Christoph; Heuten, Wilko; Boll, SusanneThe current development of ambient light systems lacks an evaluation and guidelines in the design process. We present a study design with two complementary parts, which aims to fill the gaps in the understanding of information encoding via light. In the first part of our study we want to find out light patterns that represent different types of everyday information, and in the second part we want to verify the appropriate mappings of these light patterns suggested by participants. An appropriate mapping of the light pattern should be perceptible and distinct with a degree of attention arousal and aesthetic appearance. The goal of the study is to derive light patterns and guidelines for building new light systems and applications.
