Pervasive interfaces can present relevant information anywhere in our environment, and they are thus challenged by the non rectilinearity of the display surface (e.g. circular table) and by the presence of objects that can partially occlude the interface (e.g. a book or cup on the table). To tackle this problem, we propose a novel solution based on two core contributions: the decomposition of the interface into deformable graphical units, called Dynamic Decals, and the control of their position and behaviour by a constraint-based approach. Our approach dynamically deforms the interface when needed while minimizing the impact on its visibility and layout properties. To do so, we extend previous work on implicit deformations to propose and experimentally validate functions defining different decal shapes and new deformers modeling decal deformations when they collide. Then, we interactively optimize the decal placements according to the interface geometry and their interrelations. Relations are modeled as constraints and the interface evolution results from an easy and efficient to solve minimization problem. Our approach is validated by a user study showing that, compared to two baselines, Dynamic decals is an aesthetically pleasant interface that preserves visibility, layout and aesthetic properties.

“…By extension, in this paper we consider a freeform device any device not having a rectangular shape, in contrast to current laptops or smartphones for instance. Research on Freeform devices has mostly focused on the design of non-rectangular content according to static shape features [31,32,34], or on how to dynamically organize its content according to the available display surface [25].…”

“…In this paper, we address this gap by specifically examining freeform devices, or 'Stranger Screens', in the context of applications they benefit. This work takes a complementary approach to recent developments in freeform device research [31,32,34], that has involved limited perspectives beyond those of the research community. In contrast to past literature on SCIs, our work moves away from looking at the transformation of the devices and rather investigates the state of the device at a given time.…”

Advanced technologies are increasingly enabling the creation of freeform devices: interactive devices with non-rectangular formfactors. We explore the applications they inspire and how users may interact with such freeform devices. In a week-long design workshop, we invited non-specialist designers to invent freeform devices and reflect on their myriad form factors and the applications they engender. We clustered their concepts into Introspection, Community and Magic Exploration applications, allowing to understand the perspective of non-specialists on freeform devices in real life.

“…Zhu et al ( 2021 ) found that compared to other areas of the smartphone screen, users gave a significantly longer total attention time is significantly longer and the first fixation time is also mainly in the bottom area of the interface, so we can optimize the layout of the mobile application interface according to the allocation of user attention. In a visual environment with an increasing amount of available information and high information density, visual search interfaces can be optimized through techniques such as layout design, styling, and dynamic presentation to improve the efficiency of users' visual search (Gaona-Garcia et al, 2017 ; Simon et al, 2019 ; Pan et al, 2021 ).…”

Smart homes create a beneficial environment for the lives of elderly people and enhance the quality of their home lives. This study aims to explore the design of age-friendly interfaces that can meet the emotional needs of self-care elderly people from the perspective of functional realization of the operating interface. Sixteen elderly users aged fifty-five and above were selected as subjects with healthy eyes and no excessive drooping eyelids to obscure them. Four representative age-friendly applications with different interface designs were selected from the Android application market as the stimulus material for the experiment, and a total of fifteen pages were browsed independently. During the experiment, the ErgoLAB human-computer environment synchronization cloud platform was used to monitor and record the subjects' multidimensional physiological indicators of eye movements, skin electricity, and heart rate variability when using different styles of mobile application interfaces. Combined with the post-experimental PAD emotion scale data, the preferences of emotional interface design elements of the self-care elderly were analyzed to guide the subsequent design practice. The results show that: on the layout characteristics of the home page, a simple and intuitive multi-column layout or card layout combined with a bottom navigation bar type main navigation is used; on the choice of the main color, a single color with low saturation is used as the main color, with high saturation color accents to play a role in highlighting key information; on the information density of the home page, a moderate proportion of graphics and text is adopted, with low information density; on the arrangement of the page content, they try to give priority to information content with high user relevance.
