Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs), such as nail biting, impact a wide demographic, and can negatively affect physical, psychological, and social well-being. Although pharmacological and behavioral therapies are common treatments, many avoid ...

This paper investigates the relationship between menu design and hand positions in relation to the assessment of end users with main focus on usability, user preference, and potential adaptions to different hand positions. Sixteen (N=16) participants ...

In the realm of mobile technology, smartwatches have emerged as valuable complements to smartphones, offering unique features such as enhanced activity tracking and in-situ data analysis. This study delves into the synergistic relationship between ...

This work reports on a cross-sectional study on device proficiency, support availability and cybersecurity competence of older adult users of smartphones and/or tablets. Results indicate that cybersecurity competence is associated with both device ...

The uses of handheld mobile devices are diverse, yet interaction is not; touchscreens are the singular primary interface on most mobiles. Touch interaction has usability issues (e.g., the “fat fingers problem”) which impair the fine control of small ...

In this poster, we introduce a novel dynamic user interface (UI) specifically designed for mobile devices powered by large language models (LLMs) agents. The advent of LLMs has led to a surge in deploying LLM-based agents on personal and Internet of ...

Though many compilation and runtime systems have been developed for DNNs in recent years, the focus has largely been on static DNNs. Dynamic DNNs, where tensor shapes and sizes and even the set of operators used are dependent upon the input and/or ...

Touch screens are popular input methods for mobile devices, but they compete for visual attention with users’ real-world tasks, leading to performance hindrances. In this study, we investigated the effect of an attention-saturating task on eyes-free ...

We propose an arbitrarily angled interactive audiovisual representation technique that combines a unique sound field synthesis with visual representation in order to augment the possibility of interactive immersive viewing experiences on mobile devices. ...

This study applies machine learning (ML) feature analysis to an array of multi-functional neurocognitive symptoms specific to individuals with Parkinson's Disease (PD). We provide a framework that can assist with modernizing and objectively ...

Using smartphones while moving is challenging and can be dangerous. Eyes-free input gestures can provide a means to use smartphones without the need for visual attention from users. In this study, we investigated the effect of different moving ...

In design work, a common task is the interaction with menus to change the drawing mode. Done frequently, this can become a tedious and fatiguing task, especially for tablets where users physically employ a stylus or finger touch. As our eyes are ...

Mobile devices with limited resources are prevalent as they have a relatively low price. Providing a good user experience with limited resources has been a big challenge. This paper found that foreground applications are often unexpectedly interfered ...

Reading large tables on small mobile screens presents serious usability challenges that can be addressed, in part, by better table formatting. However, there are few evidenced-based guidelines for formatting mobile tables to improve readability. For ...

Mobile instant messaging (IM) apps allow people from everywhere to chat with each other using mobile devices, but chat between different mobile IM apps remains a problem. For example, a user who only uses WhatsApp cannot chat with another user who only ...

The sensor nodes in WSNs are resource constraints and data collection is draining the sensor node's energy. Therefore, collecting data in a single hop by the mobile device helps in preserving the sensor node energy. This paper is introducing a fuzzy logic-...

Recent industrial and academic research has focused on data-driven analytics with smartphones by collecting user interaction, context, and device systems data through Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and sensors. The Android operating system ...

In this study, to overcome the issues with the narrow display areas of mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets, we propose an Augmented Reality (AR) technology called “AR Digital Workspace” that augments a workspace in real space by superimposing ...

Mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets have limited display size and input capabilities that make a variety of tasks challenging. Coupling the mobile device with Augmented Reality eyewear such as smartglasses can help address some of these ...

Many interaction techniques have been developed to best support mobile gaming – but developed gestures and techniques might not always match user behaviour or preferences. To inform this design space of gesture input for co-located mobile gaming, we ...
