Location-based services, which can be applied in navigation systems, are a key application in mobile and ubiquitous computing. Combined with indoor localization techniques, pico projectors can be used for navigation purposes to augment the environment with navigation information. In the present empirical study (n = 24) we explore users' perceptions, workload and navigation performance when navigating with a mobile projector in comparison to a mobile screen as indoor navigation interface. To capture user perceptions and to predict acceptance by applying structural equation modeling, we assessed perceived disorientation, privacy concerns, trust, ease of use, usefulness and sources of visibility problems. Moreover, the impact of user factors (spatial abilities, technical selfefficacy, familiarity) on acceptance was analyzed. The structural models exhibited adequate predictive and psychometric properties. Based on real user experience, they clearly pointed out a) similarities and device-specific differences in navigation device acceptance, b) the role of specific user experiences (visibility, trust, and disorientation) during navigation device usage and c) illuminated the underlying relationships between determinants of user acceptance. Practical implications of the results and future research questions are provided. Copyright 2012 ACM.
Projector phones, handheld game consoles and many other mobile devices increasingly include more than one display, and therefore present a new breed of mobile Multi-Display Environments (MDEs) to users. Existing studi...

Zoomable user interfaces are an evolutionary outgrowth of graphical user interfaces. In this paper we propose a zoomable user interface based on Scalable Vector graphics. Three-level zooming is proposed as a new paradigm to combine different zooming functionalities in a common interface and support zooming within the window manager. This helps to unify zooming techniques of different applications. To meet the demand of efficient and easy navigation on a user interface, several novel interaction techniques are shown that further support the integration of three-level zooming within the underlying presentation system. For mobile small-screen devices, where the benefit of zooming user interfaces is even higher, the proposed system can be operated with simple pen tap or tap and drag operations. We also present a prototypical implementation, which demonstrates how applications based on the SPARK toolkit can transparently benefit form the proposed technology.

This paper presents results of a master thesis at the Fraunhofer Institute for computergraphics Rostock (IGD-R) at the department for human-Centered interaction. Using an emotion recognition sensor system, an e-learning system was enhanced with affective abilities. By taking certain actions, the user is supported to handle negative emotions, which should enable a better learning as well as a greater satisfaction. The affective communication and actions are encapsulated by an Affective Component, which was implemented as a prototype and evaluated at a first glance.

The effect of field-of-view, display type and user role on the experience of simulator sickness and presence in users of a virtual environment was investigated. A PC based assessment instrument was created to administer the Presence, Immersive Tendencies and Simulator Sickness questionnaires. The field-of-view was found to be the major determinant of both simulator sickness and presence.

Professor John Belcher developed a series of short videos with animation and text of selected experiments to properly demonstrate the phenomena of electromagnetism. Such 3D animations are visually compelling, instilling in the student both a sense of wonder about the phenomena and a mental model of why and how it works. The products of these approach includes video clips of demonstrations, 3D animations of these demonstration which display time changing field-lines as a guide to understanding their dynamical effects and Java applets which allow the student to actively construct and animate 2D field lines for varying configurations of sources. These technologies are also implemented to develop animations for Faraday's insights, using video clips.
