    BinarySwipes: Fast List Search on Small Touchscreens
    (Mensch und Computer 2019 - Tagungsband, 2019) Hartmann, Johannes; Schirmer, Maximilian; Echtler, Florian
    Smartwatches and other wearables generally have small screens, thereby complicating touch-based interaction. Selection from a long list, e.g. to locate a contact or a music track, is particularly cumbersome due to the limited interaction space. We present BinarySwipes, an interaction technique based on binary search which is designed to speed up list search tasks on space-constrained screens. We evaluate a prototypical implementation of BinarySwipes on a smartwatch. Results from our evaluation with 21 participants show improved performance over a plain linear search on lists with 100, 200, and 500 entries, but also increased mental load on the users.

    Smartwatches: Accessory or Tool? The Driving Force of Visibility and Usefulness
    (Mensch und Computer 2016 - Tagungsband, 2016) Krey, Nina; Rauschnabel, Philipp; Chuah, Stephanie; Nguyen, Bang; Hein, Daniel; Rossmann, Alexander; Lade, Shwetak
    Although still in the early stages of diffusion, smartwatches represent the most popular type of wearable devices. Yet, little is known why some people are more likely to adopt smartwatches than others. To deepen the understanding of underlying factors prompting adoption behavior, the authors develop a theoretical model grounded in technology acceptance and social psychology literature. Empirical results reveal perceived usefulness and visibility as important factors that drive intention. The magnitude of these antecedents is influenced by an individual’s perception of viewing smartwatches as a technology and/or as a fashion accessory. Theoretical and managerial implications are discussed.
