“…The directness and naturalness of tangible interactions is known to reduce cognitive load. The inherent physicality, familiarity and embodiment offered by tangible computing systems facilitate the subconscious application of prior knowledge, providing opportunities to design metaphor-based intuitive and effective interactions [38]. Hurtienne et al propose a continuum of knowledge and describe that intuitiveness in interactions can stem from any level of that continuum: (1) Innate, (2) Sensorimotor, (3) Culture, (4) Expertise and (5) Tools, as long as they are unconsciously applied by the user [34].…”

The emergence of ubiquitous computing (UbiComp) environments has increased the risk of undesired access to individuals’ physical space or their information, anytime and anywhere, raising potentially serious privacy concerns. Individuals lack awareness and control of the vulnerabilities in everyday contexts and need support and care in regulating disclosures to their physical and digital selves. Existing GUI-based solutions, however, often feel physically interruptive, socially disruptive, time-consuming and cumbersome. To address such challenges, we investigate the user interaction experience and discuss the need for more tangible and embodied interactions for effective and seamless natural privacy management in everyday UbiComp settings. We propose the Privacy Care interaction framework, which is rooted in the literature of privacy management and tangible computing. Keeping users at the center, Awareness and Control are established as the core parts of our framework. This is supported with three interrelated interaction tenets: Direct, Ready-to-Hand, and Contextual . Direct refers to intuitiveness through metaphor usage. Ready-to-Hand supports granularity, non-intrusiveness, and ad hoc management, through periphery-to-center style attention transitions. Contextual supports customization through modularity and configurability. Together, they aim to provide experience of an embodied privacy care with varied interactions that are calming and yet actively empowering. The framework provides designers of such care with a basis to refer to, to generate effective tangible tools for privacy management in everyday settings. Through five semi-structured focus groups, we explore the privacy challenges faced by a sample set of 15 older adults (aged 60+) across their cyber-physical-social spaces. The results show conformity to our framework, demonstrating the relevance of the facets of the framework to the design of privacy management tools in everyday UbiComp contexts.

“…Arbeiten der IUUI-Gruppe (Intuitive use of user interfaces) verwenden eine Definition der Intuitivität, die auf der unbewussten Anwendung bereits erlernten Wissens basiert (vgl. Mohs et al, 2007;Israel et al, 2009). Diese liefern wertvolle Hinweise, umfassen aber möglicherweise nicht alles, was aus Nutzersicht das Erlebnis ausmacht.…”

Zusammenfassung. "Intuitive Interaktion" gilt im Bereich technischer Produkte als unumstrittene Maxime. Was genau jedoch die wahrgenommene Intuitivität eines Produkts ausmacht, ist weniger klar definiert. Ich habe mich dem Phänomen intuitive Interaktion anhand eines dualen Ansatzes genähert, der Forschungserkenntnisse aus dem Bereich intuitiver Entscheidungen sowie Einsichten aus Nutzerstudien im Bereich interaktive Technologien kombiniert. Der vorliegende Beitrag stellt ein integratives Modell vor, das die zentralen Forschungsergebnisse zusammenfasst. Kern des Modells ist die wahrgenommene Intuitivität eines Produkts und vier hierfür relevante Komponenten (Mühelosigkeit, Gefühlsgeleitet, Verbalisierungsfähigkeit, Magisches Erleben). Diese sind umgeben von mehreren Einflussfaktoren, die im Kontext der intuitiven Interaktion wirken und sie vielfältig moderieren. Einflussfaktoren erster Ebene sind der Nutzer und dessen individueller Erfahrungshintergrund, das Produkt mit seinen Eigenschaften und der Kontext, in dem die Interaktion stattfindet. Einflussfaktoren zweiter Ebene sind die Urteilsintegration (die Urteilsbildung des Nutzers), der Nutzungsmodus und die Transferdistanz (Distanz zwischen Anwendungsdomäne und Ursprung des Vorwissens). Die genannten Faktoren werden anhand beispielhafter Studienergebnisse beschrieben. Abschließend werden Ansatzpunkte des Modells für die User Experience Forschung und Gestaltung diskutiert.

“…To meaningfully map tangible input actions to output representations and enhance naturalness and intuitiveness in interactions, several researchers have explored and advocated the use of Image Schema based metaphors as a conceptual design tool [3,20,23,40]. Image schemas are the recurring dynamic patterns of sensorymotor experiences (or bodily interactions) that structure our understanding of the world [25,33].…”

Effective end-user privacy management in everyday ubiquitous computing environments requires giving users complex, contextual information about potential privacy breaches and enabling management of these breaches in a timely, engaging and intuitive manner. In this paper, we propose using empirically grounded image schemabased metaphors to help design these interactions. Results from our exploratory user study (N=22) demonstrate end users' preferences for changes in physical attributes and spatial properties of objects for privacy awareness. For privacy control, end users prefer to exert force and create spatial movement. The study also explores user preferences for wearable vs. ambient form-factors for managing privacy and concludes that a hybrid solution would work for more users across more contexts. We thus provide a combination of form factor preferences, and a focused set of image schemas for designers to use when designing metaphor-based tangible privacy management tools.
