September fand in Dresden die 18. Jahrestagung Mensch und Computer statt, die gemeinsam von der Gesellschaft für Informatik, Fachbereich Mensch-Computer-Interaktion, und der German UPA veranstaltet wird. Ausrichter waren die Teams der Professuren Multimedia-Technologie und Mensch-Computer Interaktion der Technischen Universität Dresden. Tagungsort war am ersten Tag die Fakultät Informatik der Dresdner Alma Mater, während der Hauptteil der Konferenz im Internationalen Congress Center Dresden stattfand. 2018-01-01T00:00:00Z http://dl.gi.de/handle/20.500.12116/18240 Practical Challenges for the Design of Personal Informatics Systems Niess, Jasmin; Diefenbach, Sarah 2018-01-01T00:00:00Z http://dl.gi.de/handle/20.500.12116/18237 Designing Metaphor-Based Ambient Tangible Artifacts to Support Workspace Awareness Matviienko, Andrii; El Ali, Abdallah; Hilmer, Christin; Feld, Yannick; Heuten, Wilko; Boll, Susanne Current asynchronous (e. g., email) or synchronous (e. g., video-conferencing) communication methods in the workspace can be obtrusive and fail to mimic spontaneous interpersonal communication. This can cause difficulties in forming close relationships among working colleagues. To examine this problem, we conducted a needs assessment study consisting of an online survey, a focus group, and a co-design session to gather a set of system requirements and metaphors as a base for future system designs. Based on the results, we designed two metaphor-based ambient tangible systems to support awareness among working colleagues: AwareCups and AwareHouse. Furthermore, we evaluated these systems in a short field study with 22 participants and found that both systems are highly intuitive and easy to use. We discuss the solution space for metaphor-based tangible awareness systems and the effects of the outcomes on the potential increase of awareness among colleagues. 2018-01-01T00:00:00Z http://dl.gi.de/handle/20.500.12116/18239 New Impressions in Interaction Design: A Task Taxonomy for Elastic Displays Kammer, Dietrich; Müller, Mathias; Wojdziak, Jan; Franke, Ingmar S. Novel shape-changing interfaces promise to provide a rich haptic experience for human-computer interaction. As a specific instance of shape-changing interfaces, Elastic Displays provide large interaction surfaces that can be temporally deformed using force-touch. The unique property of these displays is that they automatically return to their initial flat state. Recently, several review and position papers have stimulated a discussion towards consolidating the knowledge about shape-changing interfaces. The knowledge about Elastic Displays is similarly scattered across multiple publications from recent years. This paper contributes a task taxonomy based on productive uses of Elastic Displays found in literature, on the web, and in our interaction lab. This taxonomy emphasizes tasks, but also encompasses general aspects regarding content types, visualization technology, and interaction styles. All aspects of the taxonomy are illustrated using case studies from literature. 2018-01-01T00:00:00Z
