Using while moving

摘要: “Using while moving” is the basic ability fieldwork users require of a mobile computer system. These come from wide range backgrounds but have in common an extremely and dynamic workplace. We identify four specific characteristics this class users: user configuration, limited attention capacity, high-speed interaction, context dependency. A prototype then presented that was designed to assist fieldworkers data collection tasks explore HCI design issues involved. The used extensive field trial by group ecologists observing giraffe behavior Kenya. Following trial, improvements were made interface which turn tested subsequent with another ecologists. From experience, we formulated our resulting ideas about for into two general principles: Minimal Attention User Interfaces (MAUIs) awareness. MAUI seeks minimize attention, though not necessarily number interactions, required operating device. Context awareness enables device provide assistance based on knowledge its environment.
