abstract = {Cross-device interaction with tablets is a popular topic in HCI research. Recent work has shown the benefits of including multiple devices into users’ workflows while various interaction techniques allow transferring content across devices. However, users are only reluctantly using multiple devices in combination. At the same time, research on cross-device interaction struggles to find a frame of reference to compare techniques or systems. In this paper, we try to address these challenges by studying the interplay of interaction techniques, device utilization, and task-specific activities in a user study with 24 participants from different but complementary angles of evaluation using an abstract task, a sensemaking task, and three interaction techniques. We found that different interaction techniques have a lower influence than expected, that work behaviors and device utilization depend on the task at hand, and that participants value specific aspects of cross-device interaction.},

abstract = {Human-Computer Integration (HInt) is an emerging paradigm in which computational and human systems are closely interwoven. Integrating computers with the human body is not new. However, we believe that with rapid technological advancements, increasing real-world deployments, and growing ethical and societal implications, it is critical to identify an agenda for future research. We present a set of challenges for HInt research, formulated over the course of a five-day workshop consisting of 29 experts who have designed, deployed, and studied HInt systems. This agenda aims to guide researchers in a structured way towards a more coordinated and conscientious future of human-computer integration.},

abstract = {Nurses are frequently required to transfer patients as part of their daily duties. However, the manual transfer of patients is a major risk factor for injuries to the back. Although the Kinaesthetics Care Conception can help to address this issue, existing support for the integration of the concept into nursing-care practice is low. We present NurseCare, a mobile system that aims to promote the practical application of ergonomic patient transfers based on the Kinaesthetics Care Conception. NurseCare consists of a wearable and a smartphone app. Key features of NurseCare include mobile accessible instructions for ergonomic patient transfers, in-situ feedback for the risky bending of the back, and long-term feedback. We evaluated NurseCare in a nine participant ‘in-the-wild’ evaluation. Results indicate that NurseCare can facilitate ergonomic work while providing a high user experience adequate to the nurses’ work domain, and reveal how NurseCare can be incorporated in given practices.},

abstract = {The interaction with distant displays often demands complex, multi-modal inputs which need to be achieved with a very simple hardware solution so that users can perform rich inputs wherever they encounter a distant display. We present Simo, a novel approach, that transforms a regular smartphone into a highly-expressive user motion tracking device and controller for distant displays. Both the front and back cameras of the smartphone are used simultaneously to track the user’s hand as well as the head, and body movements in real-world space and scale. In this work, we first define the possibilities for simultaneous face- and world-tracking using current off-the-shelf smartphones. Next, we present the implementation of a smartphone app enabling hand, head, and body motion tracking. Finally, we present a technical analysis outlining the possible tracking range.},
