ABSTRACT
This paper presents a model allowing inferences of perceivable screen content in relation to position and orientation of mobile or wearable devices with respect to their user. The model is based on findings from vision science and allows prediction of a value of effective resolution that can be perceived by a user. It considers distance and angle between the device and the eyes of the observer as well as the resulting retinal eccentricity when the device is not directly focused but observed in the periphery. To validate our model, we conducted a study with 12 participants. Based on our results, we outline implications for the design of mobile applications that are able to adapt themselves to facilitate information throughput and usability.

Shared-screen social gaming with portable devices
MobileHCI '10: Proceedings of the 12th international conference on Human computer interaction with mobile devices and servicesMobile phones are designed as personal devices, and thus mobile games often lack the social element present in other game platforms, e.g., in console games. In this paper, we present an interaction method for social gaming with portable devices. The ...
