Head-up Displays Improve Drivers’ Performance and Subjective Perceptions with the In-Vehicle Gesture Interaction System

In-vehicle infotainment systems can cause various distractions, increasing the risk of car accidents. To address this problem, mid-air gesture systems have been introduced. This study investigated the potential of a novel interface that integrates a Head-Up Display (HUD) with auditory displays (spearcons: compressed speech) in a gesture-based menu navigation system to minimize visual distraction and improve driving and secondary task performance. The experiment involved 24 participants who navigated through 12 menu items using mid-air gestures while driving on a simulated road under four conditions: HUD (with, without spearcons) and Head-Down Display (HDD) (with, without spearcons). Results showed that the HUD condition significantly outperformed the HDD condition in participants’ level 1 situation awareness, perceived workload, menu navigation performance, and system usability. However, there were trade-offs on visual fixation duration on the menu, and lane deviation. These findings will guide future research in developing safer and more effective HUD-supported in-vehicle gesture interaction systems.

Usability Testing of Novel IoT-Infused Digital Services on Farm Equipment Reveals Farmer’s Requirements towards Future Human–Machine Interface Design Guidelines

The application of digital technologies in the agricultural sector is increasing. One of the new key technologies is the Internet of Things (IoT), which can facilitate the everyday work of farmers. For the successful adoption of IoT-enabled digital products and to ensure improved workflows, the usability of human–machine interfaces is highly important. Various design approaches of human–machine interfaces (HMIs) can currently be found in the monitoring of agricultural machinery. In this work, the most well-known HMIs are considered. Based on a usability test (participants n = 9), the user interface (UI) of a novel mobile application (NEVONEX Cockpit App) was chosen as an example of a design approach of an IoT ecosystem that is oriented towards the UI design of mobile applications. This work aims to identify the weak points of this UI. Conclusions about the needs, and thus an improvement of the user experience, are based on the suggestions for improvement and the information about the general requirements of farmers for a UI for agricultural machinery. Here, it was found that most farmers are satisfied with the UI design of their familiar tractor monitors. According to the survey, the three most important points to be considered in the UI design are intuitive operation and menu navigation, easy access to the essential functions and buttons, and sufficiently large control panels. The conducted usability tests can be considered a basis for developing HMIs for agriculture machinery. Through repeated execution of comparable usability tests, there is the possibility of developing future HMI guidelines for agriculture to improve the user experience (UX). For the NEVONEX ecosystem, feedback from the user interface testing was incorporated in a major revision of the Cockpit App’s design, where a lot more display space was given to the agronomic digital services by smartly arranging infrastructure functions in tiles.

Sonically-enhanced in-vehicle air gesture interactions: evaluation of different spearcon compression rates

Driver distraction is a major contributor to road vehicle crashes, and visual distraction caused by using in-vehicle infotainment systems (IVIS) degrades driving performance and increases crash risk. Air gesture interfaces have been developed to mitigate driver distraction, and using auditory displays showed a decrease in off-road glances and an improved perceived workload. However, the potential of auditory display was not fully investigated. The present paper presents directional research in the design of auditory displays for air-gesture IVIS through a dual-task experiment of driving a simulator and air-gesture menu navigation. Twenty-four participants utilized the in-vehicle air gesture interfaces while driving with four auditory display conditions (text-to-speech, 70% compressed spearcons, 40% compressed spearcson, and no sound). The results showed that 70% spearcon reduced visual distraction and increased menu navigation accuracy but with increased navigation time. 70% spearcon was most preferred by the participants. Driving performance or workload did not show any difference among the conditions. Implications are discussed with the design guidelines for future implementations.

FeverApp for Parents: A Multilingual and Socially Accountable Approach to Paediatric Fever Management in Germany

ABSTRACT Policymakers and practitioners are increasingly focused on achieving health equity and meeting the specific health needs of diverse populations, including vulnerable groups such as children. To address these challenges, the Fever App for Parents has emerged as a solution to guide parents through the complexities of managing fever in their children by improving fever management in children through real-time data collection and comprehensive educational support. This systematic approach aims to reduce unnecessary medical interventions and overuse of antibiotics, thereby improving the overall quality of pediatric care and reducing parental anxiety. In Germany, almost every second child aged 0-10 is a child with migration status and/or migration experience. This means that the parents of these children also need to be targeted in fever management and informed about the correct behavior in case of fever. This information will also be monitored anonymously to provide a feedback loop on the parent’s experience with the menu navigation and information design. The FeverApp provides parents with a structured, step-by-step guide to accurately track their child’s temperature and medication intake to encourage adherence to established fever management protocols. This study examines how the FeverApp embodies the principles of social responsibility through its multilingualism and digital development stages that incorporate user feedback. It shows why this app can be a resource to promote health equity through social responsibility in medical education and practice for parents, but also what barriers need to be considered at different stages of app development for parents from different cultural backgrounds to enable informal medical learning through apps.

Dampak Marketplace Layout Design, Sales Promotion dan Customer Review Terhadap Impulse Buying

The Shopee marketplace continues to show its existence as the marketplace with the most visitors. The distinctive color combination and well-arranged navigation menu can provide a different feel when visiting the maketplace. Information about various products can be seen very clearly on the main homepage, and shopping promo offers are also clearly visible on the slider screen on the main marketplace screen. The marketplace layout is also supported by the existence of a customer review navigation feature as a window for customer reviews of products and services that have been received. Shopee seems to understand how urgent the role of product information and customer reviews is in minimizing risks and supporting unplanned purchasing decisions. Therefore, this research aims to determine the impact of marketplace layout design, sales promotions and customer reviews to increase impulse buying. Research was conducted among Y generation in Kendari City who shopped at the Shopee marketplace. The total sample is 160 respondents. A questionnaire with a Likert scale was used as a data collection tool. Data were analyzed by multiple linear regression using SPSS software. The results of data analysis show that marketplace layout design does not have a significant influence on impulse buying. Meanwhile, sales promotion and customer reviews have a significant positive influence on impulse buying. These findings provide information to marketplace managers and sellers about the urgency of the role of sales promotion as a short-term strategy in accelerating impulse buying. Apart from that, the existence of a customer review feature on the marketplace website can contribute to impulse buying. So it becomes urgent to provide stimulus, such as giving rewards or incentives to customers who have purchased to be able to provide reviews of the products and services they receive.

“Consent notices are obstructing my view”: Viewing sticky elements on responsive websites under the magnifying glass

The practice of using consent notices on websites has received much criticism and attention among researchers. Much of the research has addressed unethical aspects of consent notices while less attention has been devoted to implications for accessibility. This study thus set out to explore implications of such elements for low vision users who rely on browser magnification to access information on the web. A selection of the 100 most frequently used or formally important websites in Norway was manually studied with heuristic evaluation to assess their accessibility with high magnification. The results show that a large portion of the websites contained blocking consent notices that make the websites inaccessible while magnified. Also, most of the websites employed sticky permanent elements such as navigation menus that obstruct much, in some cases all, of the screen real estate in the magnified view. The study also uncovered patterns that preserve accessibility. A key implication of this study is that web developers should consider narrow use cases explicitly. Recommendations are provided on how to avoid inaccessibility for users relying on magnification in narrow viewports.

Virtual Reality Game Selection for Traumatic Brain Injury Rehabilitation: A Therapist's Wish List for Game Developers.

This project explored the selection process of commercially available virtual reality (VR) games for traumatic brain injury rehabilitation. Occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs) developed a classification framework that they used to evaluate VR games. The classification framework focused on movements required to effectively play the game, cognitive demand, position for game play, ease in menu navigation, and perceived therapeutic applications. OTPs used the ratings to aid in game selection and identified relevant game examples that allowed customizable settings and basic navigation with a game focus on functional activities. The OTPs and the research team identified the need for further work on accessibility and adaptability of game features (e.g., difficulty and limb usage) allowing for more individualization to optimize outcomes of VR-enhanced rehabilitation. The classification framework was useful in evaluating the potential therapeutic benefit of commercially available VR games. However, trial of the game by clinicians prior to use was still warranted.

Unconscious Frustration: Dynamically Assessing User Experience using Eye and Mouse Tracking

Eye-tracking has become easier to deploy in user experience (UX) studies to get a sense of where users attend to during interactions. Additionally, mouse tracking grants insights into the cognition driving the user's behaviours and end goals, as can measuring the coordination between the eye and mouse-cursor. We created a menu navigation task based on a popular video game to assess two populations: a local cohort, and a remote cohort. We used two different eye trackers (monitor-mounted hardware, and a webcam-based algorithm; local used both simultaneously, remote used webcam only) with concurrent mouse tracking to detect friction in the UX. We found that both eye trackers had similar performance and revealed a previously undetected friction point. We argue this friction point was only detected because of the use of quantified, coordinated unconscious behaviours (eye and hand movements). The methods demonstrated are easily integrated into current UX studies with minimal cost.

Factors Affecting Users' Continuous Usage in Online Health Communities: An Integrated Framework of SCT and TPB.

Online health communities (OHCs) provide a new channel for users to obtain more health-related information and support, playing an important role in alleviating hospital congestion and uneven medical resource distribution, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic in China. An in-depth study of users' continuous usage is of great value for the long-term development of OHCs. The purpose of this study is to explore the factors that influence users' continuous usage in online health communities based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB) and social cognitive theory (SCT). Data from 480 users with experience in online health communities were collected through a questionnaire survey, and structural equations were applied to verify the model hypotheses empirically. Self-efficacy and controllability have significant effects on users' continuous intention; attitude has a significant relationship with continuous intention; social norms have a positive effect on continuous intention. Moreover, the relationship between continuous intention and behavior is positive. Self-efficacy and outcome expectations have significant positive associations with continuous usage. Finally, system quality, information quality, and social interaction ties have significant and positive relationships to continuous usage. To improve the level of user's continuous usage, online health service providers can improve the quality of the community by organizing the website's page layout, navigation menus, and site elements to ensure users quickly search and find what they want meanwhile try to change people's cognition gradually, in addition, decision and policymakers should provide more favorable policies to stimulate and help provider in building and managing strategic plans for sustaining a thriving online community. A supportive climate in society through public service advertisements and others for the sake of OHCs is necessary. (1) This study collected data through a cross-sectional survey. Thus, it lacked the process of capturing the changes in participants' attitudes toward all variables. (2) The environmental factors in SCT theory need to be more comprehensive, containing online factors without offline factors. (3) The dates were obtained from China, which neglects the different cultural content.

Acceptance Analysis of The Electronic Kohort Information System for Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) Method at the Bima City Health Centers

The Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Program in Indonesia is faced with a diversity of achievements between regions caused by disparities in the capacity of the health system and exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic which has caused a decrease in service activities and reporting quality so that digitalization of services is needed. This type of research is qualitative research with the design of phenomenological studies using thematic analysis with the help of the Nvivo 12 application. Primary data collection was carried out by means of observation and in-depth interviews with research informants by purposive sampling. To increase the credibility of the data use source triangulation. The research informants consisted of the head of the family health services section, the head of the health centers and the midwife as the user of the e-cohort. Thirteen informants (11 women and 2 men) participated in the study. Most informants can use the core functions of the e-cohort app navigation menu. The study proposes that the perceived perception of ease of use may not be in line with the perceived expediency of explaining variations in the successful acceptance of MCH e-cohort applications. The study also found that there were differences in outcomes between user perceptions at the operational level and policy makers at the managerial level. In general, the analysis collects several types of obstacles and potentially problems that negatively affect the usefulness of the e-cohort application : not being able to make the work of midwives easier and faster, ineffective and not so much to increase the productivity of performance. With regard to ease of use, users feel that the e-cohort can be easily learned and used. The e-cohort is considered to have value as a system that makes the work of midwives more difficult and hinders the work, however, the appearance, elements, features and design are perceived to be quite easy to use. In addition, users also highlight the need to consider how the system can be implemented in order to minimize the impact and optimize usability

Mit der RehaGoal App durch komplexe Aufgaben gelotst – Einsatzmöglichkeiten und Erfahrungen

The mobile application RehaGoal app is presented for people with acquired and congenital brain damage who have difficulties with complex planning tasks. The development of the RehaGoal app was based on the Goal Management Training approach, which focuses on breaking down an overarching goal into sub-goals and manageable steps to achieve them. So far, this approach has been paper-based, which makes it difficult to transfer to everyday life. Therefore, the RehaGoal app, which can be used on various digital devices such as smartphones, smartwatches, etc., was developed. Our target group often has additional limitations, which is why the RehaGoal app has a barrierfree design, voice output, visual display options, a user-dependent display, simple menu navigation and an authoring system. We illustrate the possible applications of the RehaGoal app with patients in outpatient neuropsychological rehabilitation, during vocational reintegration and during lockdown due to COVID-19. Keywords: RehaGoal app, executive dysfunction, goal management training, mobile application, smart devices, vocational rehabilitation

Promoting patient self-management following cardiac rehabilitation using a web-based application: A pilot study.

The use of health-related mobile apps has become an important component of healthcare. Patients can use a range of tools to strengthen their health literacy and promote disease management. The aim of the project was to develop a web-based application for use on smartphones, tablets and computers for patients with cardiovascular diseases (cardio-app). A semi-standardized written survey was conducted among rehabilitation patients with cardiovascular diseases (n = 158). The usability of the cardio-app was assessed using the System Usability Scale (SUS). The usage behaviour was conducted with a self-developed questionnaire. The study enrolled 158 eligible rehabilitation patients. The SUS of the cardio-app determined was 74.4 (SD ± 17.4). For 86%, the menu navigation was self-explanatory and logical. The visual presentation appealed to 92% of respondents. The content of the texts used in the app was understandable for 95%, and 93% found the technical terms used in the glossary well explained. For 57%, the app was helpful in planning their physical activities. 83% of the rehabilitation patients would recommend the app to others. The main criticisms of the app were the lack of synchronization options with other apps. Of those who did not use the app, the following reasons for non-use were most frequently cited: too much effort (43%), lack of time (29%) and pandemic-related reasons (29%). The cardio-app revealed high agreement values. Whether the use of the app is associated with improved clinical state and outcome would have to be verified in further studies.
