Usage of realtime-tracked avatars in co-located business-oriented applications with a ”guide-user-scenario” is examined for user-related factors of Spatial Presence, Social Presence, User Experience and Task Load. A user study was conducted in order to compare both techniques of a realtime-tracked avatar and a non-visualised guide. Results reveal that the avatar-guide enhanced and stimulated communicative processes while facilitating interaction possibilities and creating a higher sense of mental immersion for users and engagement.

Bonn: Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V. N2 - Die Fachgruppe Medieninformatik (FG MI) im Fachbereich Mensch-Computer-Interaktion (FB MCI) der Gesellschaft für Informatik (GI) setzt im Workshop Medieninformatik 2019 die Arbeit an der Curriculums-Empfehlung für Medieninformatik (MI)-Studiengänge fort. Die Identifikation grundlegender medieninformatik-spezifischer Kompetenzen steht zurzeit im Fokus der Arbeit des AK Curriculum der FG MI. Das besondere fachliche Spektrum in der Medieninformatik und Spezialisierungen einzelner MI- sowie MI-verwandter Studiengänge stellt den Arbeitskreis immer wieder vor die Herausforderung zwischen grundlegenden Kompetenzen, die jede*r Medi-eninformatiker*in erwerben soll und fachlichen Vertiefungen zu differenzieren. Um die bisherige Curriculumsarbeit mit der Praxis in den Studiengängen abzugleichen bietet der Workshop der Fachcommunity ein Forum, um sowohl die bisher aufgestellten Kompetenzen zu diskutieren, gegebenenfalls zu ergänzen, als auch MI-spezifische Lehr- und Lernformate vorzustellen, die die Erlangung dieser MI-Kompetenzen fördern. Der vorliegende Beitrag stellt den aktuellen Diskussionsstand dar.

Ein vereinendes Curriculum als Basis für alle Studiengänge ist in Anbetracht der Datenlage ein großes Unterfangen. Als einen ersten Schritt in diese Richtung geht die Fachgruppe Medieninformatik in ihrem diesjährigen Workshop der Frage nach, welche Kernkompetenzen Medieninformatiker*innen im Rahmen ihres Studiums erlangen sollten. Der Beitrag stellt den aktuellen Zwischenstand der Diskussion in der Fachgruppe Medieninformatik und im Arbeitskreises Curriculum dar und soll den Weg zu einer spezifischen Empfehlung für Medieninformatik-Studiengänge vorbereiten und doku-mentieren, für die MI-Community, aber auch für alle anderen, die an der Medieninformatik interessiert sind.

However, in most cases the streamed video does not take mobile devices' spatial data into account (e.g., the viewers do not know the spatial orientation of a streamer), or use such data only in specific scenarios (e.g., to navigate around a spherical video stream).

There a several wide spread and/or sophisticated solutions to fulfill this need but they seem to have some flaws. One popular system at the time of writing is an overlay frame that can be placed on a normal display with the corresponding size. The frame creates a grid with infrared light emitting diodes. The disruption of this grid can be detected and messages with the positions are sent via usb to a connected computer. This system is quite robust in matters of ambient light insensitivity and also fast to calibrate. Unfortunately it is not created with the recognition of tangibles in mind and printed patterns can not be resolved. This article summarizes an attempt to create fiducials that are recognized by an infrared multi-touch frame as fingers. Those false fingers are checked by a software for known patterns. Once a known pattern (= fiducial) has been recognized its position and orientation are send with the finger positions towards the interactive software. The usability is tested with an example application where tangibles and finger touches are used in combination.

Workshop der GI-Fachgruppe VR/AR N2 - In this paper we propose an integrated immersive augmented reality solution for a software tool supporting spacecraft design and verification. The spacecraft design process relies on expertise in many domains, such as thermal and structural engineering. The various subsystems of a spacecraft are highly interdependent and have differing requirements and constraints. In this context, interactive visualizations play an important role in making expert knowledge accessible. Recent immersive display technologies offer new ways of presenting and interacting with computer-generated content. Possibilities and challenges for spacecraft configuration employing these technologies are explored and discussed. A user interface design for an application using the Microsoft HoloLens is proposed. To this end, techniques for selecting a spacecraft component and manipulating its position and orientation in 3D space are developed and evaluated. Thus, advantages and limitations of this approach to spacecraft configuration are revealed and discussed.

Workshop der GI-Fachgruppe VR/AR N2 - Acquiring human motion data from video images plays an important role in the field of computer vision. Ground truth tracking systems require markers to create high quality motion data. But in many applications it is desired to work without markers. In recent years affordable hardware for markerless tracking systems was made available at a consumer level. Efficient depth camera systems based on Time-of-Flight sensors and structured light systems have made it possible to record motion data in real time. However, the gap between the quality of marker-based and markerless systems is high. The error sources of a markerless motion tracking pipeline are discussed and a model-based filter is proposed, which adapts depending on spatial location. The proposed method is then proven to be more robust and accurate than the unfiltered data stream and can be used to visually enhance the presence of an actor within a virtual environment in live broadcast productions.

In this paper we analyse interaction elements and usabilty of current MP3-players. To determine the usability, an empirical study based on a website that presented three simulated MP3-players was performed with over 1000 participants. The results show that, despite most marketing claims, some interaction devices are not as intuitive and really suitable for the task as they schould be. Also we found some surprising results concerning erroneous usage of navigation keys.

Humans and Computers HuC 2005, Aizu, Japan N2 - A mobile phone the size of a candy bar offers dozens of complex functions, a masterpiece of engineering. Unfortunately, the more functions are available, the less they are accessible to the average user. The design of the user interface suffers from a lack of suitability for the tasks, does not conform to user expectations and a suboptimal self-descriptiveness. The usability of modern mobile phones was tested in a broad survey with over 1300 participants. An internet based simulation offered tasks and an online evaluation. It could be pointed out that mobile phones are not only hard to access for novices but also those who consider themselves experts have difficulties when confronted with unknown functions or another brand of phone. Approaches to increase the usability are discussed. KW - User Interface Design KW - Usability Study KW - Mobile Phone KW - Inclusive Design Y1 - 2005 SP - 249 EP - 254 CY - Aizu ER -
