“…Other types of interaction paradigms in these papers include touch screens [22], pressure based input [23], spatial awareness [24] and gestures [25]. As well as using these new input modalities a number of researchers are also looking at alternative output modes such as sound [26] and tactile feedback [27].…”

Usability of mobile applications: literature review and rationale for a new usability model

The usefulness of mobile devices has increased greatly in recent years allowing users to perform more tasks in a mobile context. This increase in usefulness has come at the expense of the usability of these devices in some contexts. We conducted a small review of mobile usability models and found that usability is usually measured in terms of three attributes; effectiveness, efficiency and satisfaction. Other attributes, such as cognitive load, tend to be overlooked in the usability models that are most prominent despite their likely impact on the success or failure of an application. To remedy this we introduces the PACMAD (People At the Centre of Mobile Application Development) usability model which was designed to address the limitations of existing usability models when applied to mobile devices. PACMAD brings together significant attributes from different usability models in order to create a more comprehensive model. None of the attributes that it includes are new, but the existing prominent usability models ignore one or more of them. This could lead to an incomplete usability evaluation. We performed a literature search to compile a collection of studies that evaluate mobile applications and then evaluated the studies using our model.

“…For instance, visual indicators in the camera screen can provide composition tips (e.g. rule of thirds), or inclination indicators [3]. Moreover, audio cues have been used to inform about exposure features of the photograph at focus time [1].…”

Synesthetic enrichment of mobile photography

This paper presents a novel approach to enrich mobile photography. To this end, images framed by the camera are analyzed in realtime to assess composition and exposure features, as well as to detect the presence of human subjects. Information resulting from this analysis serves to give users aesthetic cues before they take the photograph, helping to improve the quality of the final images captured. The main novelty of this system is the use of synesthetic feedback: a musical composition that maps aspects resulting from the realtime analysis of images is composed and played back to photographers. A user study shows that musical attributes can be controlled programmatically to provide effective information about the visual modality. The augmented synesthetic dimension has the potential to create a more compelling experience to the users of mobile photography.

This paper presents a novel approach to assist users of digital cameras and augment their photograph taking experience. To this end, a realtime analysis of the images framed by the camera is conducted to assess composition, exposure and presence of human subjects. The resulting information is used to give users feedback about their photographs before they release the shutter. The main contribution of this paper is the use of synesthetic feedback: a musical composition that maps aspects resulting from the realtime analysis of images is composed and played back to the photographer. A preliminary study shows that musical attributes can be controlled to provide effective feedback about the visual modality.
