ABSTRACT
Use of spatial information to support discovery of interaction opportunities has been widely demonstrated. In this paper, we focus on the use of spatial interfaces for identification and selection of devices a mobile user encounters in their immediate environment. We contribute an experimental evaluation of two spatial interface conditions in comparison with a non-spatial condition. The two spatial interface conditions are a device list ordered by distance and an iconic map of devices as seen from the user's perspective and the non-spatial condition is an alphabetical list. Our results show an overall user preference for the iconic map over the spatial and alphabetical list. However, there was no clear preference for the spatial interfaces over the non-spatial condition with respect to user satisfaction and mental load.

Generation of usable interfaces for mobile devices
CLIHC '05: Proceedings of the 2005 Latin American conference on Human-computer interactionWe report on our work aimed at the generation of interfaces for mobile devices that comply with usability guidelines. We conducted a usability study that led to the definition of ten general usability guidelines for mobile devices. We then modified our ...
Extracting forest canopy structure from spatial information of high resolution optical imagery: tree crown size versus leaf area index
Leaves are the primary interface where energy, water and carbon exchanges occur between the forest ecosystems and the atmosphere. Leaf area index (LAI) is a measure of the amount of leaf area in a stand, and the tree crown size characterizes how leaves ...
User Authentication Interfaces in Mobile Devices: Some Design Considerations
CSE '14: Proceedings of the 2014 IEEE 17th International Conference on Computational Science and EngineeringThe use of mobile devices has been increasing for the last decade. With more powerful capabilities, they are replacing desktop computers. With this, there are also security concerns, one of which is the user authentication. When dealing with mobile ...
