“…Bartram et al [2] have studied the use of moving icons (Moticons) on-screen in terms of distraction and effectiveness at conveying information. Their results showed that motion is significantly better than colour or shape changes for attracting attention, particularly when seen in peripheral vision.…”

“…2 The aim of these sessions was to learn about daily life as lived by participants, but also to spur thoughts, inspiration and ideas for innovative future mobile designs. We invited 54 emergent mobile users from Bangalore, India, eight from Langa, a township in Cape Town, South Africa, and nine from areas around Nairobi, Kenya.…”

Figure 1. Chameleons are well known for their ability to change the colour of their skin for survival and social signalling [10]. Sometimes this colour change is to indicate aggression towards other animals, or in response to temperature or mood (left); at other times, as in the centre left image shown here, chameleons can match the pattern of their surroundings near perfectly, perhaps to lessen the danger from predators. In this work, we explore how mobile devices might be able to perform the same feat. The centre right image, then, shows a phone placed normally on a table. At right: the same phone blended in to its surroundings, but still able to present social signals to its owner in a subtle manner. ABSTRACTMany users value the ability to have quick and frequent sight of their mobiles when in public settings. However, in doing so, they expose themselves to potential risks, ranging from being targets of robbery to the more subtle social losses through being seen to be rude or inattentive to those around them. In nature, some animals can blend into their environments to avoid being eaten or to reduce their impact on the ecosystem around them. Taking inspiration from these evolved systems we investigate the notion of chameleon approaches for mobile interaction design. Our probes were motivated, inspired and refined through extended interactions with people drawn from contexts with differing ranges of security and privacy concerns. Through deployments on users' own devices, our prototypes show the value of the concept. The encouraging results motivate further research in materials and form factors that can provide more effective automatic plain-sight hiding.

“…Bartram et al found that using motion to emphasize icons resulted in fewer undetected icons compared to using color [BWC03]. Similarly, Ware and Bobrow [WB04] found that using motion to emphasize subgraphs within a graph was more effective than a static highlighting method.…”

“…• Highlighting regions of interest, e.g., coloring data points when brushing and linking to emphasize relationships; • Animating data points using motion [BWC03,WB04] and flickering [WLMB * 14], which are efficient for catching a viewer's attention; and • Altering the size of data points to provide more detail or to increase their legibility relative to other data points, e.g., the many space-distortion techniques in the literature including overview+detail and zooming (see [CKB09] for a review).…”

This is the accepted version of the paper.This version of the publication may differ from the final published version. Permanent AbstractWe provide a fresh look at the use and prevalence of emphasis effects in Infovis. Through a survey of existing emphasis frameworks, we extract a set-based approach that uses visual prominence to link visually and algorithmically diverse emphasis effects. Visual prominence provides a basis for describing, comparing and generating emphasis effects when combined with a set of general features of emphasis effects. Therefore, we use visual prominence and these general features to construct a new mathematical Framework for Information Visualization Emphasis, FIVE. The concepts we introduce to describe FIVE unite the emphasis literature and point to several new research directions for emphasis in information visualization.
