Figure 1: In this work we investigate thermal attacks against PINs and patterns on mobile devices. After entering PINs (a-c) or patterns (d-f) on a touch screen, a heat trace remains on the screen and can be made visible via thermal imaging.

After years in the lab, interactive public displays are finding their way into public spaces, shop windows, and public institutions. They are equipped with a multitude of sensors as well as (multi-) touch surfaces allowing not only the audience to be sensed, but also their effectiveness to be measured. The lack of generally accepted design guidelines for public displays and the fact that there are many different objectives (e.g., increasing attention, optimizing interaction times, finding the best interaction technique) make it a challenging task to pick the most suitable evaluation method. Based on a literature survey and our own experiences, this paper provides an overview of study types, paradigms, and methods for evaluation both in the lab and in the real world. Following a discussion of design challenges, we provide a set of guidelines for researchers and practitioners alike to be applied when evaluating public displays.
