“…Potential solutions could be to allow layout switching during operation or to concentrate interaction on the horizontal part of the display as proposed in [6] using adequate metaphors ( figure 7). Furthermore, we are interested in the influence of visual structures on the interaction.…”

“…Weiss et al also investigated cross-display dragging gestures on a curved display [8]. Voelker et al [6] have explored the combination of indirect touch input on a horizontal surface and visual output on a vertical display. Hennecke et al [4] used a pair of curved displays to create a seamless collaboration space that allowed two users to interact across a physical-to-virtual tabletop setup.…”

“…We had chosen the game layout based on metaphoric considerations. But being aware that literature suggests to concentrate touch interaction on the horizontal part of the display [6], we were interested if inverting the game layout would lead to an improved user experience.…”

Vertically curved displays feature a curved segment that seamlessly combines a horizontal with a vertical display segment. A potential application domain for such displays is their use in public settings. We created a quiz game on our curved display and exposed it to visitors of our open lab day to gather first insights into how people encounter such a device in a real world context. We report on our observations during the exhibition and present preliminary findings of a subsequent experiment comparing different variations of the game.

Similar to the Autonomous Computing initiative, which has mainly been advancing techniques for self-optimization focusing on computing systems and infrastructures, Organic Computing (OC) has been driving the development of system design concepts and algorithms for self-adaptive systems at large. Examples of application domains include, for instance, traffic management and control, cloud services, communication protocols, and robotic systems. Such an OC system typically consists of a potentially large set of autonomous and self-managed entities, where each entity acts with a local decision horizon. By means of cooperation of the individual entities, the behavior of the entire ensemble system is derived. In this article, we present our work on how autonomous, adaptive robot ensembles can benefit from OC technology. Our elaborations are aligned with the different layers of an observer/controller framework, which provides the foundation for the individuals' adaptivity at system design-level. Relying on an extended Learning Classifier System (XCS) in combination with adequate simulation techniques, this basic system design empowers robot individuals to improve their individual and collaborative performances, e.g., by means of adapting to changing goals and conditions. Not only for the sake of generalizability but also because of its enormous transformative potential, we stage our research in the domain of robot ensembles that are typically comprised of several quad-rotors and that organize themselves to fulfill spatial tasks such as maintenance of building facades or the collaborative search for mobile targets. Our elaborations detail the architectural concept, provide examples of individual self-optimization as well as of the optimization of collaborative efforts, and we show how the user can control the ensembles at multiple levels of abstraction. We conclude with a summary of our approach and an outlook on possible future steps.

INSPECT is a novel interaction technique for 3D object manipulation using a rotation-only tracked touch panel. Motivated by the applicability of the technique on smartphones, we explore this design space by introducing a way to map the available degrees of freedom and discuss the design decisions that were made. We subjected INSPECT to a formal user study against a baseline wand interaction technique using a Polhemus tracker. Results show that INSPECT is 12% faster in a 3D translation task while at the same time being 40% more accurate. INSPECT also performed similar to the wand at a 3D rotation task and was preferred by the users overall.
