    amicus (formidus)
    (2013) Pfeiffer, Linda; Heidt, Michael; Barlag, Maria; Fischer, Jonathan; Heft, Walentin; Pratap Paidi, Vijay; Kanzok, Thomas; Rosenthal, Paul
    In this paper we discuss the development of personal digital assistants over the last decades to the current state of the art. This recently resulted in the invention of proactive personal assistants which collect all available data to predict future needs of the user and assist in the resulting situations. We propose that this development will continue and result in amicus, a pure virtual assistant which handles all possible challenges a future human might be confronted with in the real or virtual world. The system will provide pure intuitive interaction including natural feedback and recognition of any human communication form.

    Towards Using Drones as Personal Spatial Search Assistants
    (Mensch und Computer 2021 - Tagungsband, 2021) Theiß, Jannik; Albert, Iannis; Burkard, Nicole; Herrlich, Marc
    Personal drones are becoming popular supporting humans in diverse tasks such as photography. This emphasizes the need for further research on other applications but also the potential benefits and problems of human-drone interaction in general. In this work, we investigate the application of a quad-copter as search assistant providing spatial support and highlighting objects in indoor environments. We present an indoor control system based on optical tracking implemented inside the Unity game engine and a hardware extension of the quad-copter in the form of an LED headlight. In a first user study (N=10) in a controlled laboratory environment, we found that the drone assistant was well received by users and that it increased efficiency in terms of search time in comparison to the control condition without drone support.
