▼ Eye tracking, the process of capturing the gaze location within a display, is extensively used in usability studies, psychology, human-computer interaction, and marketing. The setup and operation of modern eye trackers is time-consuming and a specialist is needed to calibrate them and be present throughout the experiment, leading to highly-controlled user studies with artificial tasks and only a small number of participants. In addition, their steep price, which rises to tens of thousands of dollars, restricts their use to only a small number of labs that can afford them. This thesis aims to democratize eye tracking by using common webcams already present in laptops and desktops. We introduce WebGazer, a webcam eye tracker that infers the gaze of web visitors in real time. WebGazer is developed as an open-source JavaScript library that can be incorporated into any website. Its eye tracking model self-calibrates by mapping eye features to positions on the display that correspond to user interactions. We investigate whether webcam eye tracking can lead to similar conclusions to in-lab eye tracking studies. We explore this question in the context of web search, by extending WebGazer so that it can predict the examined search element within a search engine result page. We use SearchGazer to replicate three seminal studies in the area of information retrieval and demonstrate that scalable and remote eye tracking studies on user behavior are possible at a fraction of cost and time. Finally, we create a benchmark for webcam eye tracking with data collected from a lab study with more than 60 participants. This dataset allows us to investigate the relationship between user interactions and gaze, confirming past findings on the alignment of gaze with clicks and cursor movement, and introducing novel insights into the differences in gaze behavior across users based on their ability to touch type. Taking advantage of the temporal alignment of gaze and user interactions, we perform improvements in WebGazer's accuracy and functionality. These contributions make eye tracking accessible to everyday users, researchers, and developers. Traditional eye tracking studies that are confined to labs can now be performed remotely and at scale. Subjects can participate in studies in their everyday environments which can yield a more naturalistic behavior and lead to more powerful insights.

▼ Vnencumbered-gesture-interaction (VGI) describes the use of unrestricted gestures in machine interaction. The development of such technology will enable users to interact with machines and virtual environments by performing actions like grasping, pinching or waving without the need of peripherals. Advances in image-processing and pattern recognition make such interaction viable and in some applications more practical than current modes of keyboard, mouse and touch-screen interaction provide. VGI is emerging as a popular topic amongst Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Computer-vision and gesture research; and is developing into a topic with potential to significantly impact the future of computer-interaction, robot-control and gaming. This thesis investigates whether an ergonomic model of VGI can be developed and implemented on consumer devices by considering some of the barriers currently preventing such a model of VGI from being widely adopted. This research aims to address the development of freehand gesture interfaces and accompanying syntax. Without the detailed consideration of the evolution of this field the development of un-ergonomic, inefficient interfaces capable of placing undue strain on interface users becomes more likely. In the course of this thesis some novel design and methodological assertions are made. The Gesture in Machine Interaction (GiMI) syntax model and the Gesture-Face Layer (GFL), developed in the course of this research, have been designed to facilitate ergonomic gesture interaction. The GiMI is an interface syntax model designed to enable cursor control, browser navigation commands and steering control for remote robots or vehicles. Through applying state-of-the-art image processing that facilitates three-dimensional (3D) recognition of human action, this research investigates how interface syntax can incorporate the broadest range of human actions. By advancing our understanding of ergonomic gesture syntax, this research aims to assist future developers evaluate the efficiency of gesture interfaces, lexicons and syntax.

▼ Zoos worldwide are beginning to deploy digital technologies for both visitors and animals. Such installations include interactive signage for visitors and touchscreen computers for animal cognition research. Zoos present animals in carefully crafted settings, with the aim of inspiring visitors’ respect and concern for wildlife. However, little is known about the effects that digital technologies can have on visitors’ encounters with zoo animals. This thesis addresses this knowledge gap by investigating the design of digital technology that might support zoos in shaping visitors’ perceptions of animals. Through four studies, different methodological approaches are brought to bear on this question. This thesis commences by surveying the broader context of the zoo, through a first study which investigates digital technologies at a selected zoo. This case study examines the deployment and use of interactive systems against deeper themes relating to the zoo’s mission and exhibit design intentions. The outcomes of this study reveal tensions related to the introduction of digital displays within the naturalistic setting that zoos construct. The second study focuses on a particular design project to identify the special considerations relating to design of animal interactives, digital technologies to be used by zoo animals. Research through design approaches are adopted to examine the co-design of an interactive installation for use by orangutans. From this study emerge twelve considerations for designing animal interactives in zoos. These considerations respond to zoos’ visitor engagement strategies, animal interaction aims, and constraints associated with conducting iterative design in the zoo setting. The third study continues the trajectory of design, providing a formative evaluation of the animal interactive. This study, conducted as part of the design process, examines how the design intentions manifest in Study 2 were realised in visitors’ responses to the installation. Interviews conducted with visitors at the exhibit reveal a variety of cognitive and emotional forms of empathetic responses. Study 3 brings into focus the concept of belief in animal mind as a significant aspect of people’s responses to seeing animal interaction, motivating the subsequent evaluation of effects on perceptions of animal minds. The fourth study comprises a systematic evaluation of the effects of the animal interactive on visitors’ perceptions of animals. Study 4 combines qualitative methods to probe deeper notions of belief in animal mind, and quantitative methods to measure the effects of the animal interactive. This final study of the thesis entails a field experiment, to compare perceptions of visitors who witnessed use of the animal interactive to those of a control group who did not. In the final Discussion, four themes are developed which transect the studies. Addressing the social dimensions of animal-human-computer interaction, digital technology in naturalistic settings, anthropomorphism, and interactive design with…

▼ This thesis addressed the difficulties involved in reconfiguring permeable mid-air displays (e.g., fog screens) through the experimental investigations of three interactive prototypes: MistForm, SoundBender, and SonicSpray. Each of the prototypes includes their specific reconfigurability techniques. The discussion begins in Chapter 1. Chapter 2 described a straightforward technique used by MistForm to coarsely and mechanically reconfigure the permeable mid-air display. MistForm can adaptively deform its display surface to a specific condition through linear mist emitters controlled by five actuators. It is capable of turning problems into solutions, for example, a concave display can be used as a shared screen while convex shape as a personal screen. However, the investigation found the MistForm to be large and noisy. These challenges have led to a study investigation of SoundBender in Chapter 3. Chapter 3 described an investigation of a hybrid technique that reconfigured non-solid diffusers. The method can precisely manipulate any given complex sound field, encoded by a metamaterial (MM) mounted on phased array transducer (PAT). The force from the sound affected the surrounding particles. The technique can be used to reconfigure matter such as paper, mist, and flame in air space. However, the chapter did not focus on coordinating its use specifically for permeable mid-air displays. Therefore, this thesis carried out an investigation of SonicSpray in Chapter 4. It describes a technique to reconfigure mid-air display of permeable matter (i.e., aerosols) precisely by using a small farm factor PAT. This thesis ends with a conclusion in Chapter 5. The next generation of mid-air displays needs to be in small form factor, multipurpose and controllable, which have been introduced and demonstrated in this thesis. The research in this thesis can facilitate the future design of displays. However, this thesis highlights the response rate of the permeable particles, the primary concern yet to be solved. The airflow speed of the particles was found to be decreased proportionally to the number of transducers used. In the future, for better control the display, researchers should improve the response rate of the particles, for example, using sources with higher sound power.

▼ Since the dawn of civilization, we have striven to invent tools to support our productivity and creativity. A key role of these tools is to maintain, display, and provide means to operate on certain representations of information. The ideal representations visualize information in forms that can be perceived effortlessly and afford interactions which enable users to reason, analyze, and make sense of the information. Perhaps the most complex tool invented so far is digital computer. Since its inception, research has been striving to leverage computation to augment our productivity and creativity. The increasingly fast computation has shifted the bottleneck of employing computation from the hardware specifications to the representation of and interaction with digital information. The Window, Icons, Menus, Pointer (WIMP) user interface has been the dominant Graphical User Interface (GUI) framework of digital computers for 50 years. The many problems of the WIMP have long been recognized and yet unresolved: it relies on tedious manipulation of complex interface elements to achieve simple tasks; with mouse and keyboard as primary input, it does not effectively leverage the rich interaction capabilities we possess. We contribute a novel representation, the Object-Oriented Representation. By representing abstract elements in users’ workflow as concrete objects, the Object-Oriented Representation offloads abstract content and structure from users’ minds to external interfaces, which reduces cognitive load. By directly matching users’ internal representations of the information, it enables users to directly articulate their intentions, rather than translating them into tedious actions constrained by inappropriate representations. The smallest unit of GUI, attribute, is first objectified as Attribute Object. Attribute Object affords rich interactions which were tedious or impossible, and allows for the composition of higher-level elements to address other complex tasks, including Collection Object which holistically addresses the many problems of interacting with multiple objects, and Mapping Object which facilitates the creation of complex data visualization. This exploration demonstrates the potential of a new representation which can unleash and boost our creativity and productivity. A set of design principles are further distilled, which describe how representation, interaction, and functionality should be combined to enable of cognitively direct interaction.

▼ Sensing, computing and communicating are three basic elements of the Internet of Things (IoT). Benefited from hardware innovation, present devices have been enhanced to such a extent that even a palm-sized device owes powerful sensing, computing and communicating capabilities. This consequently promotes the broad applications of ubiquitous computing and blurs the boundary between human and device. In such a situation, the human-device interaction (HDI) is becoming increasingly pervasive around us and covers a wide range of applications including environment sensing and human dynamics sensing. In this thesis, we follow a line of exploring different approaches of designing human-device interactive systems for the mentioned applications. Specifically, we propose four novel systems in this thesis covering two aspects of human-device interaction from application perspective, namely, environment sensing and human dynamics sensing. In the first work, we propose a novel system to aid users distinguish in-wall objects and map hidden pipeline layout, using off-the-shelf sensors embedded in smartphones. In the second work, we design a objects distinguishing system named TagFree with commercial Wi-Fi infrastructure which differentiates a single object at a time or up to three objects simultaneously with favorable performance. Compared with conventional methods, this system removes the need of additional devices attached to objects. Following the above work in environment sensing, we also conduct research in gesture recognition and text entry with commodity devices. In the third work, we develop GRfid, a novel device-free gesture recognition system based on phase information output by COTS RFID devices which is potentially applied in smart homes, museums and art galleries where RFID technology is widely utilized. In the last work, we present a novel text-entry system, AcouTexts, aiming at dealing with problem of inputting texts on tiny devices. With AcouTexts, users can enter texts to a device by just using a finger even without touching the device. We prototype the above systems with commodity devices/infrastructure and evaluate their performances with real-world experiments.

▼ There is much research in the literature regarding the construction of distributed virtual reality implementations. After evaluating some well-known virtual reality systems, it was determined that several problems exist that need to be solved. In particular: network efficiency, object distribution and coherency, inadequate system resource management, and overall performance. In order to properly address these issues, a holistic design approach is taken. The entire system is examined, rather than focusing on a specific problem area (such as the human-computer interface). The major component of this work, the Newtonian Architecture for Virtual Landscapes (NAVL), is presented to respond to the problems areas discovered. Highlights of the architecture include: (1) A distributed client/server network that addressed the networking issues. (2) Autonomous objects encapsulate control and object state into a single entity. Using autonomous objects avoids lengthy synchronization processes (e.g., full database locking). (3) ForceLets, a novel synchronization method, minimize the network bandwidth required to keep an object synchronized at remote locations. In addition, ForceLets provide much improved synchronization of the object at the remote locations in the presence of network lag. Implementation details of the NAVL prototype are also presented. The implementation consists of an object simulation and execution unit, rendering and collision detection unit, and network subsystem and protocols. An evaluation of the NAVL system architecture examines the efficiency of the key architectural components: (1) A bandwidth and latency analysis examines the efficiency of the distributed client/server network. (2) The object distribution and coherency components are tested directly from the prototype. Profiles of actual prototype execution are used to show the efficiency gains of the ForceLet approach as compared to the commonly used stream-of-data coherency mechanism. (3) The rendering and collision detection unit is tested by examining the effects on CPU utilization and frame rate with increases in the number of virtual objects.

▼ Mid-air haptics is a recent field concerned with conveying haptic feedback in midair to complement 3D interfaces which are already integrating gesture tracking or volumetric displays. While the community has mainly spent the last decade focusing on the technical challenges of developing a mid-air haptic display, little attention has been spent on haptic pattern-rendering techniques. The work presented here targets this last consideration and investigates the perceptual implications of varying the parameters of a recently developed rendering technique called spatiotemporal modulation. The technique aims at producing spatially distributed mid-air haptic patterns, by rapidly and repeatedly moving a tactile point along a given pattern path. However, it is unclear how the rendering parameters affect skin deformation and haptic perception. In addition, especially when two parameters are interdependent, it is unclear which should be optimised. In the first study, I used vibrometry to compare the effects of pattern-rendering speed (i.e. the speed at which the tactile point moves along the pattern) and rendering rate (i.e. the rate at which a given pattern is repeated) on skin displacement. The study highlights the importance of rendering speed over rendering rate in maximising the skin displacement. A user study showed later that rendering speed also maximised pattern perceived strength, corroborating that increased displacement leads to increased perceived strength. A second user study investigated the importance of the pattern sampling rate (i.e. the sampling position number along a pattern) while rendering a given mid-air haptic pattern. The results show that decreasing the sampling rate enhanced the pattern strength, especially for patterns rendered at a rate of under 20Hz. These results also allow the unlocking of low rate stimuli that could not be perceived with the traditional sampling approach. In each of these studies, the discoveries are summarised in comprehensive guidelines, so designers can benefit through an implementation of my results in their design of mid-air haptic patterns.

▼ Since the introduction of their modern form 20 years ago, recommender systems have proven a valuable tool for help users manage information overload.Two decades of research have produced many algorithms for computing recommendations, mechanisms for evaluating their effectiveness, and user interfaces and experiences to embody them.It has also been found that the outputs of different recommendation algorithms differ in user-perceptible ways that affect their suitability to different tasks and information needs.However, there has been little work to systematically map out the space of algorithms and the characteristics they exhibit that makes them more or less effective in different applications. As a result, developers of recommender systems must experiment, conducting basic science on each application and its users to determine the approach(es) that will meet their needs.This thesis presents our work towards \emph{recommender engineering}: the design of recommender systems from well-understood principles of user needs, domain properties, and algorithm behaviors.This will reduce the experimentation required for each new recommender application, allowing developers to design recommender systems that are likely to be effective for their particular application.To that end, we make four contributions: the LensKit toolkit for conducting experiments on a wide variety of recommender algorithms and data sets under different experimental conditions (offline experiments with diverse metrics, online user studies, and the ability to grow to support additional methodologies), along with new developments in object-oriented software configuration to support this toolkit;experiments on the configuration options of widely-used algorithms to provide guidance on tuning and configuring them; an offline experiment on the differences in the errors made by different algorithms; and a user study on the user-perceptible differences between lists of movie recommendations produced by three common recommender algorithms.Much research is needed to fully realize the vision of recommender engineering in the coming years; it is our hope that LensKit will prove a valuable foundation for much of this work, and our experiments represent a small piece of the kinds of studies that must be carried out, replicated, and validated to enable recommender systems to be engineered.

▼ The growing number of interactive visualizations on the web has made it possible for the general public to access data and insights that were once only available to domain experts. At the same time, this rise has yielded new challenges for visualization creators, who must now understand and engage a growing and diverse audience. To bridge this gap between creators and audiences, we explore and evaluate components of a design-feedback loop that would enable visualization creators to better accommodate their audiences as they explore the visualizations. In this dissertation, we approach this goal by quantifying, modeling and creating tools that manage people’s open-ended explorations of visualizations on the web. In particular, we: 1. Quantify the effects of design alternatives on people’s interaction patterns in visualizations. We define and evaluate two techniques: HindSight (encoding a user’s interaction history) and text-based search, where controlled experiments suggest that design details can significantly modulate the interaction patterns we observe from participants using a given visualization. 2. Develop new metrics that characterize facets of people’s exploration processes. Specifically, we derive expressive metrics describing interaction patterns such as exploration uniqueness, and use Bayesian inference to model distributional effects on interaction behavior. Our results show that these metrics capture novel patterns in people’s interactions with visualizations. 3. Create tools that manage and analyze an audience’s interaction data for a given visualization. We develop a prototype tool, ReVisIt, that visualizes an audience’s interactions with a given visualization. Through an interview study with visualization creators, we found that ReVisIt make creators aware of individual and overall trends in their audiences’ interaction patterns. By establishing some of the core elements of a design-feedback loop for visualization creators, the results in this research may have a tangible impact on the future of publishing interactive visualizations on the web. Equipped with techniques, metrics, and tools that realize an initial feedback loop, creators are better able to understand the behavior and user needs, and thus create visualizations that make data and insights more accessible to the diverse audiences on the web.

▼ Sensory information processing is an important feature of robotic agents that must interact with humans or the environment. For example, numerous attempts have been made to develop robots that have the capability of performing interactive communication. In most cases, individual sensory information is processed and based on this, an output action is performed. In many robotic applications, visual and audio sensors are used to emulate human-like communication. The Superior Colliculus, located in the mid-brain region of the nervous system, carries out similar functionality of audio and visual stimuli integration in both humans and animals. In recent years numerous researchers have attempted integration of sensory information using biological inspiration. A common focus lies in generating a single output state (i.e. a multimodal output) that can localize the source of the audio and visual stimuli. This research addresses the problem and attempts to find an effective solution by investigating various computational and biological mechanisms involved in the generation of multimodal output. A primary goal is to develop a biologically inspired computational architecture using artificial neural networks. The advantage of this approach is that it mimics the behaviour of the Superior Colliculus, which has the potential of enabling more effective human-like communication with robotic agents. The thesis describes the design and development of the architecture, which is constructed from artificial neural networks using radial basis functions. The primary inspiration for the architecture came from emulating the function top and deep layers of the Superior Colliculus, due to their visual and audio stimuli localization mechanisms, respectively. The integration experimental results have successfully demonstrated the key issues, including low-level multimodal stimuli localization, dimensionality reduction of audio and visual input-space without affecting stimuli strength, and stimuli localization with enhancement and depression phenomena. Comparisons have been made between computational and neural network based methods, and unimodal verses multimodal integrated outputs in order to determine the effectiveness of the approach.

▼ Games are fundamentally a social activity. The effects of this foundation can be felt at every level - from the social negotiation of rules, through cooperation and collaboration between players during the game, to the effects of relationships and social status on play. Social effects can change the way the game is played, but the mechanics of games can also affect the patterns of social behaviours of the players. The arrangement of game mechanics and interfaces together defines a ``social architecture". This architecture is not limited to directly social mechanics such as trading and messaging - the game design itself has a holistic effect on social activity. This dissertation frames games around these social aspects, and focuses on analysis of the patterns that emerge from these playful interactions. Firstly, a model is defined to understand games based on the social effects of play, and these effects explored based on the varying impact they have on the play experience. Mischief and deviance is also investigated as forces that challenge these social effects in and around games. Based on interaction data gathered from server logs of experimental social games, social network analysis is used as a tool to uncover the macroscopic social architectures formed by each design. This allows the use of quantitative methods to understand the nature of the relationship between game design and the social patterns that emerge around games in play. Key findings confirm that social activity follows a heavy-tailed distribution - a small number of ``hardcore" players are responsible for a disproportionately large number of interactions in the community of the game. Further than this, the connections between active hardcore and the rest of the player base show that without the hardcore users, the community of games as ``small worlds" would collapse, with large numbers of players being separated from the society within a game. The emergence of grouping behaviour is investigated based on the effect of social feedback. Following findings of social psychology in non-game environments, evidence is provided that highlights the effect of socio-contextual feedback on players forming strongly bound tribal groups within games. The communities formed through the play of games can be described in terms of network graphs - webs of interactions flowing around a network of players. Social network analyses of social games show the emergence of patterns of reciprocity, clustering and tribal behaviours among the players. The evidence also shows that the collections of game mechanics, or social architectures, of games have a predictable effect on the wider social patterns of the players. As such, this suggests games can be specifically engineered for social effects based on changes in the patterns of interactions, and issues around mechanical or interface elements can be identified based on anomalies observed in the network graph of player interactions. Together, this dissertation provides a link between the theoretical ideas around social play to the…

▼ This thesis investigates the use of eye gaze in human-computer interaction. One of the biggest challenges of using gaze as an indicator of visual attention is the "Midas Touch" problem: it is very difficult to distinguish between spontaneous eye movements for gathering visual information and intentional eye movements for selection. To avoid this problem, rather than directly using gaze positions as input, we infer users' intent from their past gaze trajectories and then provide appropriate assistance. To be specific, we propose a two-stage hidden-Markov-model-based framework to model the gaze trajectories and to infer the intended targets of the users. Results on a 2D cursor control task and a hyperlink inference task show that this model infers users' intended target with high accuracy. We then integrate this gaze model into two applications: a hybrid gaze/electroencephalography (EEG) brain-computer interface (BCI), which integrates the cues from eye gaze and the cues from EEG to control a robot arm, and a gaze-based web browser, which dynamically adjusts the amount of time for which the user needs to fixate on the desired hyperlink in order to select it. Our algorithm improves the overall performance of both systems in a natural way without increasing the cognitive load of the user. Moving forward, in order to support applications where the movements of the user should be relatively unconstrained, we propose a new deep neural network for appearance-based gaze estimation. We propose to use dilated-convolutions, which extract high-level features at high resolution on eye images, and gaze decomposition, which decomposes the line of sight into the sum of a subject-independent term and a subject-dependent bias. We achieve state-of-the-art subject-independent gaze estimation on the MPIIGaze and EYEDIAP datasets. To further reduce the estimation error, we propose a personal calibration method that works remarkably well on calibration sets of low complexity, i.e., the number of gaze targets used for calibration and/or the number of images per gaze target are small. Our results show that the proposed calibration outperforms other alternatives when the calibration set is of low complexity. We also collect a large-scale dataset, NISLGaze, which contains large variations in head pose and face location. We use NISLGaze to evaluate gaze estimation both with and without calibration in a more realistic setting.

▼ In this work, we present new data-types, analytics, and human-computer interfaces as a platform to enable a new type of co-adaptive-behavioural analyses to track neuroplasticity. We exhibit seven different works, all of which are steps in creating an interface that “collaborates” in a closed-loop formula with the sensory-motor system in order to augment existing or substitute lost sensations. Such interfaces are beneficial as they enable the systems to adapt and evolve based on the participants’ rate of adaptation and preferences in evolution, ultimately steering the system towards favorable regimes. We started by trying to address the question: textit{"how does our novel sensory-motor system learn and adapt to changes?"}. In a pointing task, subjects had to discover and learn the sequence of the points presented on the screen (which was repetitive) and familiarise themselves with a non-predicted event (which occurred occasionally). In this very first study, we examined the learnability of motor system across seven individuals, and we investigated the learning patterns of each individual. Then, we explored how other bodily signals, such as temperature, are affecting movement. At this point, we conducted two studies. In the first one, we looked into the impact of the temperature range in the quality of the performed movement. This study was conducted in 40 individuals, 20 Schizophrenia patients, known to have temperature irregularities, and 20 controls. We identified the differences between the two populations in the range of temperature and the stochastic signatures of their kinematic data. To have a better look into the relation of movement and temperature, we conducted a second study utilizing data of a pre-professional ballet student recorded during her 6h training and her follow up sleep. For this study, we designed a new data type that allows us to examine movement as a function of temperature and see how each degree of temperature impacts the fluctuations in movement. This new data structure could be used for the integration of any bodily signal. Next, we identified the need to build visualization tools that could picture in real-time sensory information extracted from the analysis that would be informative to the participant. Such tools could be used in a vision-driven co-adaptive interface. For this reason, we designed an in-Matlab avatar that enables us to color-code sensory information to the corresponding body parts of the participant. In our next study, we examined two college-age individuals (a control and an Asperger syndrome) under sensory modalities and preferences. We built methods to extract for each individual the preferred sensory modality from the motor stream, textbf{selectivity}, and preferences of the particular modality that motivate the system to perform at its best, textbf{preferability}. These two parameters were critical to finally close the loop by letting the system decide upon the individual preferences. Therefore, we moved from the open-loop approach, to… Advisors/Committee Members: Kalampratsidou, Vilelmini (author), Torres, Elizabeth (chair), Metaxas, Dimitris (internal member), Bekris, Kostas (internal member), Moustakides, Geiorge (internal member), Ihlefeld, Antje (outside member), School of Graduate Studies.

▼ Team coordination is vital to the success of team missions. On the battlefield and in other hazardous environments, mission outcomes are often very unpredictable because of unforeseen circumstances and complications encountered that adversely affect team coordination. In addition, the battlefield is constantly evolving as new technology, such as context-aware systems and unmanned drones, becomes available to assist teams in coordinating team efforts. As a result, we must re-evaluate the dynamics of teams that operate in high-stress, hazardous environments in order to learn how to use technology to enhance team coordination within this new context. In dangerous environments where multi-tasking is critical for the safety and success of the team operation, it is important to know what forms of interaction are most conducive to team tasks. We have explored interaction methods, including various types of user input and data feedback mediums that can assist teams in performing unified tasks on the battlefield. We’ve conducted an ethnographic analysis of Soldiers and researched technologies such as sketch recognition, physiological data classification, augmented reality, and haptics to come up with a set of core principles to be used when de- signing technological tools for these teams. This dissertation provides support for these principles and addresses outstanding problems of team connectivity, mobility, cognitive load, team awareness, and hands-free interaction in mobile military applications. This research has resulted in the development of a multimodal solution that enhances team coordination by allowing users to synchronize their tasks while keeping an overall awareness of team status and their environment. The set of solutions we’ve developed utilizes optimal interaction techniques implemented and evaluated in related projects; the ultimate goal of this research is to learn how to use technology to provide total situational awareness and team connectivity on the battlefield. This information can be used to aid the research and development of technological solutions for teams that operate in hazardous environments as more advanced resources become available.

▼ The development of technology and diversification of means of communication have in-creased the range of social interactions that people have in their daily lives. As an adverse side effect, it is not uncommon to see heated and uncivil discussions happening online, creating a hostile environment that highly affects both the users and the reputation of the services. This is a particularly troublesome problem in online news sites, which different studies have shown to suffer from different negative consequences caused by hostile interactions on their online platforms. While several theories have tried to explain why communication decays in digital medias, scholars have arrived at conflicting conclusions regarding the responsible factors. One possible approach is to better understand the processes of emotion regulation in order to ad-dress the hostile behaviors frequently seen online. Recent research suggests that affect labeling, that is, explicitly naming one’s emotional reactions, could be an option for emotion regulation online. Therefore, this thesis proposes to design and evaluate different options of affect labeling mechanisms to help individual emotion regulation, aiming to enhance the quality of online discussions. This thesis studies design factors which might lead to higher acceptability in an affect labeling enabling mechanism. In order to do so, this work was composed by three stages. First, different news websites from around the world were benchmarked to identify mechanisms being used to ensure user engagement and quality, which were then categorized. These categories served as base for the creation of fourteen user interface designs that would enable an affect labeling process. Next, a user study was conducted, where eighteen participants were interviewed regarding their online engagement habits and perceptions on affect labeling and then evaluated six of the designs regarding their acceptability. The study confirms some of the negative impacts of online hostility shown by previous studies, such as a general lack of motivation from all the participants to participate in online discussions. It also shows that participants’ perception on affect labelling change depend-ing on the approach used for the process to happen: obvious options, such as open text, were less preferred, while more subtle variations (e.g. reactions, emojis) were well accepted, perceived as a safer form of expression. The evaluations show that the participants preferred simplicity and a small number of steps to use a tool. At the same time, they also valued the tool providing a feeling of focus on the user, as an individual, and allowing certain level or personalization on the users’ inputs. Based on the results, guidelines for future affect labelling designs were compiled. It would be interesting to perform new evaluations with participants with more active online engagement behavior in order to compare if the results are valid and gather new insights.

▼ The standard approach for browsing information on mobile devices includes touchscreen gestures such as pinch and flick. These gestures often require minute operations such as repetitive panning to browse contact lists on a mobile device. Using these gestures to explore large information spaces to facilitate decision-making tasks often involves considerable effort and the user has to deal with screen occlusion and fat-finger situations. However, the void space around mobile devices is much larger than the small touch screen. Researchers have demonstrated that such in-air space can be used as an alternative to touch input for fundamental operations, such as answering and rejecting phone calls. While such prior work has laid the foundation for around-device input, a complete mobile application that deploys and benefits from such an input modality had not been investigated prior to this thesis. In this thesis, we explored how in-air space around a mobile device can be used to structure mobile interfaces to facilitate complex goals such as making a purchase decision with a smartphone. To achieve this goal, we began with investigating various design factors that influence the performance of accessing content that can virtually exist around the device. We then explored users’ and spectators’ perceptions of using around-device gestures to access on-device information as their readiness of performing such gestures could lead to rapid adoption of this interaction style. Finally, we used these prior findings to design and structure a complete mobile commerce application with around-device space and compared it to traditional touch interfaces. Study results revealed that using an in-air mobile interface can be more efficient than standard touchscreen interactions. Overall, this research took the first successful step in empirically showing the practical value for using the around-device space for exploring large information spaces on mobile devices.
