Comparing two methods to overcome interaction blindness on public displays

Published:20 June 2016Publication History

ABSTRACT

Nowadays overcoming interaction blindness in designing interaction methods on public displays is still a challenging task. In this work, we present our study on evaluating the effectiveness of two methods (animation and video) in overcoming people's interaction blindness on gesture-based public displays. Our study shows that an animation-based method attracts more users, and thus possibly reduces interaction blindness compared to a video. The study also suggests the animation may persuade more users to interact but be less effective in teaching them the correct way of interaction. However further study should be made to achieve a more general conclusion.
