“…The system displays information such as the critical distance between shelves or the position of products depending on their sales. Empirical studies revealed that students were faster and learned more with the tangible than on the same activity on a multi-touch (Lucchi et al 2010;Schneider et al 2010). The apprentices can start a simulation: the system beams the movements of forklifts that move boxes from the shelves to the trucks and vice-versa.…”

“…As shown by [14] users tend to try more solutions with physical manipulation and allow them to spend more time exploring when performing problem solving tasks. This physical manipulation is associated with a positive learning gain in some contexts.…”

In this work, we have explored an approach based on the hybridisation of physical and digital content for mind-mapping activities at schools. Based on the literature in the fields of cognitive science and HCI, we have designed a mixed-reality (MR) interface called Reality-Map. We conducted a pilot study with 11 participants suggesting that learning and manipulating information about the brain and their cognitive functions could be improved by the use of such a MR interface compared to a traditional WIMP interface.

“…The flow questions derived from a review of existing applications of flow from empirical studies (Hoffman & Novak 2009;Schneider et al 2010;Novak et al 2000;Zuckerman & Gal-Oz 2013). The reflection paper by Hoffman and Novak (2009) itself compares 22 conceptual and structural models of flow.…”

“…The flow likert questions chosen were extracted from the following empirical sources: playfulness from Schneider, Jermann & Zufferey (2010), attention and focus from Novak et al (2000), and cognitive enjoyment from Zuckerman & Gal-Oz (2013). A combination of positive and negative phrases was used, so that the participant would need to focus upon each question and think about the answer (Sharp et al 2011).…”

User engagement is a highly desired feature of user interfaces, yet it fails to sufficiently articulate the most extreme type of engagement -flow. The measurement of flow in this paper was motivated by action research participation at the initial field test of the "Preparing for Bushfire" touch table Tangible User Interface (TUI) (Brown et al. 2015)). It was evident that measuring engagement alone would not adequately describe and quantify the engrossed behaviour demonstrated by the general public participants. A Flow Index was constructed to measure and quantify the level of intense focus. Since no standard Flow Index exists, this paper outlines the development process of the construction of the index, including its mathematical validation. It then shows how the Flow Index was used to assess success or failure of the implemented user interface design that was strategically designed for high engagement. The flow was measured during the TUI "Preparing for Bushfire" study using 64 adult members of the general public.
