    Customizing Social Assistant Robots - Concepting Functionalities and Aesthetics
    (Mensch und Computer 2022 - Workshopband, 2022) Paananen, Siiri; Eckhoff, Emma; Häkkilä, Jonna; Ahtinen, Aino; Väänänen, Kaisa
    In this paper, we discuss customizing of social robots, including personal assistant robots, focusing on aesthetics and functionalities. The results of a robot co-design workshop related to customizing social robots are presented. The proposed customization examples include items such as clothes, accessories and different visuals and sounds for various scenarios and tasks, including home and remote work settings.

    Digitale Service Innovation für die Gesundheitsversorgung im vernetzten Zuhause
    (Mensch und Computer 2020 - Workshopband, 2020) Hamper, Andreas
    Digitale Assistenzsysteme unterstützen das sichere und selbstbestimmte Leben im eigenen Zuhause. Neben technischen Produktinnovationen, wie Sprachassistenten, bietet besonders die Vernetzung existierender Gesundheits- und Gebäudetechnik Potenziale, neue Dienste nutzerzentriert für Zielgruppen mit häufig geringer IT-Affinität zu entwickeln. Damit können sowohl Bewohner zum souveränen Selbstmanagement der eigenen Gesundheit und Sicherheit befähigt werden und gleichzeitig Gesundheitsdienstleistern wie Pflegediensten und Hausärzte engmaschige Daten aus dem täglichen Leben zur Verfügung gestellt werden. Bestehende (Öko-)Systemgrenzen und Insellösungen erschweren bisher die Schaffung von nutzerzentrierten offenen Lösungen für datenbasierte Innovation. Der Beitrag zeigt, ausgehend von dem Modellprojekt „Digitales Gesundheitsdorf“, wie zukünftig Systemgrenzen der Ambient Assisten Living (AAL)- und Smart-Home-Technologie überwunden werden können um neue nutzerzentrierte Dienste für ein sicheres und selbstbestimmtes Leben von Patienten und Bewohner in der häuslichen Umgebung zu entwickeln.

    Moving freely while staying on track — Smart Glasses to Support Lecturers
    (Bildungsräume 2017, 2017) Wolters, Christian; Wessel, Daniel; Jacobsen, Finn; Herczeg, Michael
    This paper explores the use of smart glasses as a supporting tool for lecturers. Typical constraints of lecture rooms, like fixed lecture stands and projection surfaces, impose limits on a lecturer's interaction with the audience. Wearable devices like smart glasses could allow the lecturer to move freely, keep continuous eye-contact to facilitate attention, while providing unobtrusive access to time information and lecture notes. Following a human-centered design process (HCD) the development and evaluation of a working prototype is presented. Results of the HCD process show the potential and feasibility of the proposed design solution, but also highlight the limitations of the current technology.

    Self-Tracking & Running a Marathon: Is your Privacy in Danger?
    (Sicherheit 2024, 2024) Gordejeva, Jelizaveta; Mayer, Andreas; Pobiruchin, Monika
    Running has become one of the most popular workout activities in the past years. Runners track themselves during training and big events like marathons races with dedicated wearable devices or smartphones. We analyzed freely accessible and supposedly anonymous respectively pseudonymous tracking data of three marathon events. Tracking data were collected by a single live GPS tracking provider, here Racemap. All data were publicly available. Thereby, we found out that it is possible to link these data sources with other public online resources to re-identify a person and to gather further sensible personal information (e.g., private or working addresses). Furthermore, we propose measures that participants, providers and organizers could carry out in order to ensure data privacy.

    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.

    Tight Times: Semantics and Distractibility of Pneumatic Compression Feedback for Wearable Devices
    (Mensch und Computer 2019 - Tagungsband, 2019) Löffler, Diana; Tscharn, Robert; Schaper, Philipp; Hollenbach, Melissa; Mocke, Viola
    Notifications on wrist worn devices can be delivered visual, auditory or haptic. Haptic notifications are hands and eyes-free and at the same time discrete. As an alternative to vibrotactile notifications we explore the use of compression notifications for a variety of semantic contexts. We present a prototype to deliver squeeze cues and present the results of two empirical studies focusing on context-dependent interpretation and distractibility of squeeze notifications. In the first study, 20 participants rated the desirability and intuitive understanding of squeeze-based notifications in a variety of contexts. In the second study, 39 participants completed a set of cognitive tasks interrupted by squeeze-distractors. Our observations suggest that by using simple squeeze signals it is possible to convey a range of context-dependent information that requires little learning and does not distract users from their main activity. These findings help to further investigate the use of compression notifications as an attention-preserving communication channel.

    Using wrist vibrations to guide hand movement and whole body navigation
    (i-com: Vol. 13, No. 3, 2014) Brock, Anke; Kammoun, Slim; Macé, Marc; Jouffrais, Christophe
    In the absence of vision, mobility and orientation are challenging. Audio and tactile feedback can be used to guide visually impaired people. In this paper, we present two complementary studies on the use of vibrational cues for hand guidance during the exploration of itineraries on a map, and whole body-guidance in a virtual environment. Concretely, we designed wearable Arduino bracelets integrating a vibratory motor producing multiple patterns of pulses. In a first study, this bracelet was used for guiding the hand along unknown routes on an interactive tactile map. A wizard-of-Oz study with six blindfolded participants showed that tactons, vibrational patterns, may be more efficient than audio cues for indicating directions. In a second study, this bracelet was used by blindfolded participants to navigate in a virtual environment. The results presented here show that it is possible to significantly decrease travel distance with vibrational cues. To sum up, these preliminary but complementary studies suggest the interest of vibrational feedback in assistive technology for mobility and orientation for blind people.
