We introduce NaviRadar: an interaction technique for mobile phones that uses a radar
metaphor in order to communicate the user's correct direction for crossings along a desired …

Small screen and wearable devices play a key role in most of our daily tasks and activities.
However, depending on the context, users can easily experience situationally induced …

In this survey, we give an overview of hand-held haptic navigation devices specifically
designed for and tested with pedestrians. We distinguish devices for indoor use and for …

In this article we describe a novel approach to pedestrian navigation using bearing-based
haptic feedback. People are guided in the general direction of their destination via vibration …

In this paper, we investigate pointing as a lightweight form of gestural interaction in cars. In a
pre-study, we show the technical feasibility of reliable pointing detection with a depth …

The use of wearable devices during running has become commonplace. Although there is
ongoing research on interaction techniques for use while running, the effects of the resulting …

Locating points of interest (POIs) in cities is typically facilitated by visual aids such as paper
maps, brochures, and mobile applications. However, these techniques require visual …

This study is based on a user scenario where augmented reality targets could be found by
scanning the environment with a mobile device and getting a tactile feedback exactly in the …

Haptics is a feedback technology that takes advantage of the human sense of touch by
applying forces, vibrations, and/or motions to a haptic-enabled user device such as a mobile …

In this paper we describe the design concept, prototype development, and initial findings for
a mobile guide supporting serendipitous exploration of a city. The system will allow a tourist …
