Figure 1: We investigate how data glasses usage is perceived by device users as well as by their peers based on abstract, sketched scenarios. In particular, we investigate how knowledge about usage intentions -indicates as "thinking bubbles" affects social acceptance. For presentation, the sketched depictions are shown along with possible "real-world" equivalents. However, the actual study only made use of the abstractions, to prevent e.g. cultural bias. ABSTRACTData glasses do carry promising potential for hands-free interaction, but also raise various concerns amongst their potential users. In order to gain insights into the nature of those concerns, we investigate how potential usage scenarios are perceived by device users and their peers. We present results of a two-step approach: a focus group discussion with 7 participants, and a user study with 38 participants. In particular, we look into differences between the usage of data glasses and more established devices such as smart phones. We provide quantitative measures for scenario-related social acceptability and point out factors that can influence user attitudes. Based on our quantitative and qualitative results, we derive design implications that might support the development of head-worn devices and applications with an improved social acceptability.

“…Such an input device should be designed for subtle use [2,8,26]. The device should preferably be small, operate eyes-free using small movements, allow for one-handed use, and be readily available [2].…”

“…However, such a scenario raises three key interrelated questions: do the notifications presented on the interactive glasses affect the person's ability to keep track of the environment [42] while walking on the street? How would people provide input to interactive glasses [26]? And finally, how does the social context [15] affect different aspects of the interaction both for the one wearing the interactive glasses and the passers-by?…”

In this paper we explore the use of interactive eyewear in public. We introduce NotifEye, an application that allows a person to receive social network notifications on interactive glasses while walking on a busy street. The prototype uses a minimalistic user interface (UI) for interactive glasses to help people focus their attention on their surroundings and supports discreet interaction by using a finger rub pad to take action on incoming notifications. We studied pragmatic and hedonic aspects of the prototype during a pedestrian navigation task in a city center. We found that, despite the potential risk of overwhelming people with information, participants were able to keep track of their surroundings as they dealt with incoming notifications. Participants also positively valued the use of a discreet device to provide input for interactive glasses. Finally, participants reflected on their (evolving) perception of interactive glasses, indicating that glasses should become smaller, more comfortable to wear, and somewhat of a fashion accessory.

The recent availability of affordable see-through wearable displays has fostered the development of several new interfaces and applications. Some of them take the augmented reality path, by seeking the blending of physical objects with overlaid 3D models or textual information. Some, on the other hand, are much simpler and follow a rather basic paradigm where the spatial integration between real world and data overlay is dropped. This is the case, for instance, with most applications based on Google Glass hardware, where textual data and images partially share the field of view of the user, but are not pinpointed to physical features. This is a rather important difference, since it marks the shift from a cooperative see-through mode, that characterizes proper augmented reality, to a competitive overlay, where the user attention is actually contended between real objects and displayed data. To this end, the user focus must continuously shift from one context to the other, possibly leading to both reduced productivity and usage strain. With this paper we are addressing exactly this issue. Specifically, we are assessing the role of different properties of the overlay, including the level of occlusion, the depth of the data layer, the position of the view frustum and the impact of stereo vision. Such study has been implemented by mean of a real-world evaluation which has been performed using a general purpose see-through device in a practical application scenario.
