Abstract

This demonstration paper accompanies a paper accepted at MobileHCI'15 [1]. With the aim of enhancing news reading experience on smartphones, we developed and deployed Habito News, a dedicated Android news app capable of unobtrusive logging of news interactions and recognising patterns of user's news reading behaviour. Interaction traces collected with Habito News can first be used to detect the user's news reader type and then to adapt the news reading app displays and behavior in response to individual patterns of user's interaction. In this demo, we present the app's logging capabilities, the automatic detection of news reader types and the three different user interface designs for different news reader types.

Reading the news on smartphones has become a significant activity for users. It is also a highly individual experience with marked differences in the way people read and access news. This work explores novel methods of "smart personalisation" of news ...

As news is increasingly accessed on smartphones and tablets, the need for personalising news app interactions is apparent. We report a series of three studies addressing key issues in the development of adaptive news app interfaces. We first surveyed ...
