    An Intuitive Textile Input Controller
    (Mensch und Computer 2015 – Proceedings, 2015) Heller, Florian; Lee, Hyun-Young {Kriz}; Brauner, Philipp; Gries, Thomas; Ziefle, Martina; Borchers, Jan
    When thinking of textile interfaces, these are often imagined as being integrated into clothing. While this is the most prominent use of fabric, we present a standalone interface that builds on the natural set of interactions a piece of fabric affords, and that is feasible for industrial production. By integrating stitched patterns made of conductive thread into a square piece of fabric, we are able to sense established connections within this pattern and map these to a model how the cloth is folded. An integrated microcontroller tracks these connections and communicates them as two-dimensional continuous value changes to a host application. We present the technical construction of our prototype, a particular clip-on technique to establish the connection between fabric and electronics, and first insights into recognizing different grip gestures.

    Google Glass++: Evaluating Multimodal Alarms on Google Glass
    (Mensch und Computer 2019 - Tagungsband, 2019) Cobus, Vanessa; Busse, Steffen; Heuten, Wilko
    Around 350 alarms per patient a day make intensive care units a loud, stressful, and highly cognitive demanding working environment for nurses. Each alarm needs to be identified and evaluated regarding its urgency which requires to interrupt nursing tasks. Alarm fatigue is a prominent result of alarm exposure and a well-known problem for caregivers, causing a desensitization and delayed response time for alarms. To counteract this issue, we suggest to forward patient alarms and alarm relevant information just to the responsible nurse, using head-mounted displays. In a first user study, we evaluated the suitability of patient relevant information displayed via Google Glass EE in combination with peripherally visual and audible alarms during nursing specific loads. Therefore, we enhanced Glass with a peripheral light display. For both conditions (light/sound), the readability of the display, and the alarms' identifiability and distraction, were rated as good. Finally, our prototype was rated as comfortable.

    A head-based vibrotactile compass for cyclists
    (Mensch und Computer 2021 - Workshopband, 2021) Krauß, Anna-Magdalena; Wittchen, Dennis; Kammer, Dietrich; Freitag, Georg
    Cycling stimulates the human mind and body in manifold ways. However, even on a leisure ride, certain waypoints or destinations must be reached. Therefore, orientation is a crucial task for every cyclist. Vibrotactile systems for cyclists do not clog up the visual and auditory senses needed to experience the immediate environment. However, our literature survey shows that previous work focuses on turn-by-turn navigation systems and does not leverage the potential of vibrotactile feedback on the head. Since the head is not in direct contact with the bike, we argue that vibrations occurring naturally are less confounding. Moreover, head movements are already crucial for wayfinding. We present an unobtrusive orientation system for cyclists with head-based vibrotactile feedback – a vibrotactile compass. In a user study, we show the feasibility of our system.
