BlindSight

• Li et al.

2
Strengths

• Innovative approach rethinking the mobile phone
  user interface for during calls
• Pre-design survey
• Interesting results tactile features error
  rate decrease

3
Weaknesses

• No good distinct definition of problems, goals,
  hypotheses structure e.g. mobile phone upside
  down confusing at the beginning
• Auditory feedback during calls - might have some
  drawbacks overloading?
• Only qualitative measures - What were the
  performance measures of the driving task?
• Calculating the means of Likert-scale results
• Optional use of headset while driving new
  experiment variable
• Counting errors only once?

4
Suggestions

• More experiments on using audio feedback while
  in-call
• Could use eye-tracking to analyze visual
  attention
• Could use more quantitative measures

5
Progress since paper

• Possible future work with visually impaired users

6
The Unanticipated Challenges of the Real World
for Large Collaborative Displays

• Huang et al.

7
Strengths

• Valuable and relevant results for ubicomp
  research by analyzing the usability of the
  MERBoard interface
• KenStrength Can be operated with a stylus
• Background very well related

8
Weaknesses

• No very good definition of PGH introduction
• Debrief of operations at JPL
• Redundancy of analysis
