“…Similarly to the work of Borchers et al [13], Finke et al [14] extended an interactive large public display (LD) with small devices (SDs). User interfaces are distributed across the differently scaled devices, and one can take advantage of the input and output capabilities of both devices.…”

We introduce a framework for distributed or colocated teams to collaborate highly efficiently using diverse mobile devices for design and assessment of complex systems. Our framework enhances the efficiency of collaborations arising in design, simulation or data analysis, including visualization. First, we investigate which requirements on such a collaboration framework exist and which influences between task models have to be taken into account; afterwards we transfer those findings into a prototypical system. The devices provide three views of data to be processed collaboratively: (1) a simulation view; (2) a status report view; and (3) a status update view. These views serve the purpose of providing overview, detail and performance views. A smart watch view shows at-a-glance information, the environment or the process being inspected, possibly influenced by a user. Users can use their mobile devices as control interfaces. The framework is especially effective for combining the synergis- tic, complementary competencies of a team. We describe the design of our framework and discuss specific applications.

“…Finke et al have reported on a series of experiments carried out to determine quantitative and qualitative effects on user performance when interaction is split across large public and smaller private screens. The experimentation is designed based on Norman's action model [13]. Kim et al have introduced Eye Mouse and user's Thinking (EMT) System that tracks eye and mouse, and records user's thinking.…”

Abstract.A usability model is a hierarchical structure encompassing the key elements such as users, user interface and interaction between them. It is a generic template which is independent of usability evaluation methods and provides flexibility for adaptation in different contexts and domains. In this paper, a usability model for medical user interfaces, especially for ventilator systems in Intensive Care Unit (ICU), is proposed based on Norman's actionoriented seven-step model to capture a related medical context. A ventilator system is a therapeutic device, which provides a respiratory support to critically-ill patients. Currently, a usability of user interfaces of ventilator systems is evaluated by typical usability evaluation methods from software industry. These evaluation methods miss out important elements in medical context. Therefore, a need for a specialized usability model for medical user interfaces is fulfilled with a proposed usability model encompassing vital elements such as medical user, user interface, ICU environment and time required. This usability model is validated first, through a human work analysis using videos of selected tasks with medical user interfaces and then, with an overview of critical factors affecting medical user interfaces in ICU. In future, a proposed usability model can be integrated with a suitable usability evaluation method for evaluating medical user interfaces to identify related medical usability problems more effectively.

“…Finke et al [11] investigate several strategies for the design of applications across personal and public displays and test several examples; however, these provide qualitative evidence about specific applications that might be difficult to generalize, and they did not find differences between configurations. Closest to our research is Gostner et al's study [13], which investigated a text search and entry task in large display-only, mobile-only, and hybrid configurations and found that the large-display and hybrid condition were best.…”

“…Such configuration has several perceived advantages, including: a) the large display might supplement the screen real estate lacking in the mobile display, b) input can still be provided through the mobile device, which is familiar to, proximate to and easily manipulated by the user, and c)implementation of this kind of configuration is already possible with a currently available infrastructure (e.g., network-connected digital signage [18]). Many research projects (e.g., [4,6,9,10,11], and numerous new commercial products (e.g., Wii U, Apple Remote App, multidevice Scrabble) point to a future where we might expect operating system-level support for multi-display ecosystems with seamless interaction across opportunistically available displays.…”

Attaching a large external display can help a mobile device user view more content at once. This paper reports on a study investigating how different configurations of input and output across displays affect performance, subjective workload and preferences in map, text and photo search tasks. Experimental results show that a hybrid configuration where visual output is distributed across displays is worst or equivalent to worst in all tasks. A mobile device-controlled large display configuration performs best in the map search task and equal to best in text and photo search tasks (tied with a mobile-only configuration). After conducting a detailed analysis of the performance differences across different UI configurations, we give recommendations for the design of distributed user interfaces.
