“…It originated in information systems research and has been developed to study the "unwillingness" of employees to adopt a certain technology, with the goal to increase productivity [6]. It is, together with its later versions, widely used in the social acceptability literature (e.g., [23,24,34,35]). In its early versions, perceived usefulness and ease of use were studied as predictors of a worker's intention to use a technology, but over time several other variables were added.…”

Social contexts play an important role in understanding acceptance and use of technology. However, current approaches used in HCI to describe contextual influence do not capture it appropriately. On the one hand, the often used Technology Acceptance Model and related frameworks are too rigid to account for the nuanced variations of social situations. On the other hand, Goffman's dramaturgical model of social interactions emphasizes interpersonal relations but mostly overlooks the material (e.g., technology) that is central to HCI. As an alternative, we suggest an approach based on Social Practice Theory. We conceptualize social context as interactions between co-located social practices and acceptability as a matter of their (in)compatibilities. Finally, we outline how this approach provides designers with a better understanding of different types of social acceptability problems and helps finding appropriate solutions.

“…Social Acceptability Montero et al define social acceptability as the combination of the user's social acceptance, which defines how comfortable a user is in executing a particular action, as well as spectators' social acceptance, which refers to the impression it makes on witnesses of such action [37]. Interacting with eyewear displays need to be socially acceptable for public performancethis is especially relevant for eyewear given the current scepticism toward such devices [25]. While the social acceptability of actions may change as technologies become widespread [37], the likelihood of technology adoption is greatly improved if its interaction requirements are socially acceptable [12,45].…”

Eyewear displays allow users to interact with virtual content displayed over real-world vision, in active situations like standing and walking. Pointing techniques for eyewear displays have been proposed, but their social acceptability, efficiency, and situation awareness remain to be assessed. Using a novel street-walking simulator, we conducted an empirical study of target acquisition while standing and walking under different levels of street crowdedness. We evaluated three phone-based eyewear pointing techniques: indirect touch on a touchscreen, and two in-air techniques using relative device rotations around forward and a downward axes. Direct touch on a phone, without eyewear, was used as a control condition. Results showed that indirect touch was the most efficient and socially acceptable technique, and that in-air pointing was inefficient when walking. Interestingly, the eyewear displays did not improve situation awareness compared to the control condition. We discuss implications for eyewear interaction design.

“…First, depending on the context, interaction techniques can be perceived as socially inappropriate from the outside or as embarrassing by the user himself because it might affect the social image, especially for new and unknown classes of devices [Koelle, El Ali, et al, 2017]. For example, speaking to technology in public environments [Efthymiou and Halvey, 2016] or touching the groin area [Harrison and Faste, 2014] of the body are perceived as inappropriate.…”

“…As another approach to interaction while walking, related work proposed voice-based interfaces. However, such systems may perform badly depending on background noise and have social implications [Koelle, El Ali, et al, 2017;Starner, 2002].…”

The contributions of this thesis are situated in the field of Human-Computer Interactions (HCIs), a field "concerned with the design, evaluation and implementation of interactive computing systems for human use and with the study of major phenomena surrounding them" [Hewett et al., 2014]. Each of the main contributions presented in this thesis is substantiated in one or more observational studies or controlled experiments. All of the studies and experiments were designed, conducted, and analyzed according to widely accepted standards of the HCI community [Lazar, J. H. Feng, and Hochheiser, 2010]. This section describes the general approach to the design and analysis, which applies to all studies presented. Any exceptions are mentioned and justified in the respective chapters. Study DesignIn this thesis, two general types of study designs are applied, controlled experiments and observational studies.
