3D Tangibles Facilitate Joint Visual Attention in Dyads

چکیده
We report results from a dual eye-tracking study around a Tangible User Interface (TUI). Participants (N=54) worked in groups of two and solved optimization problems on the TinkerTable, a TUI designed for students in logistics. The TinkerTable features tangible shelves that students can manipulate to build and optimize the layout of a warehouse while the system provides feedback with a projector above the table. Using mobile eye-trackers, we examined participants’ visual coordination when solving those problems. We describe two contributions to the CSCL community: first, we propose a methodology for synchronizing two eye-tracking goggles and computing measures of joint visual attention (JVA) in a co-located setting. Second, we report preliminary findings suggesting that participants were more likely to have moments of joint attention when looking at 3D, realistic objects compared to 2D, abstract ones. JVA was also found to be a significant predictor of students’ learning gains and performance during the optimization tasks. We discuss implications of these findings for supporting interactions around a TUI.

Modality use in joint attention between hearing parents and deaf children
The present study examined differences in modality use during episodes of joint attention between hearing parent-hearing child dyads and hearing parent-deaf child dyads. Hearing children were age-matched to deaf children. Dyads were video recorded in a free play session with analyses focused on uni- and multimodality use during joint attention episodes. Results revealed that adults in hearing p...
متن کاملLearning to Look for Language: Development of Joint Attention in Young Deaf Children.
Joint attention between hearing children and their caregivers is typically achieved when the adult provides spoken, auditory linguistic input that relates to the child's current visual focus of attention. Deaf children interacting through sign language must learn to continually switch visual attention between people and objects in order to achieve the classic joint attention characteristic of y...
متن کاملPerformance similarities predict collective benefits in dyadic and triadic joint visual search
When humans perform tasks together, they may reach a higher performance in comparison to the best member of a group (i.e., a collective benefit). Earlier research showed that interindividual performance similarities predict collective benefits for several joint tasks. Yet, researchers did not test whether this is the case for joint visuospatial tasks. Also, researchers did not investigate wheth...
متن کاملTangible-Tango: Designing and Fabricating Tangibles with Tangibles
We present Tangible-Tango, a system which enables users to fabricate new tangibles and their equivalent 3D virtual models. Thus the cognitive load required to understand and interact with virtual models is reduced. Users build new models by iteratively creating and assembling physical models. Each physical model has an associated virtual model. The new models, both virtual and tangible, can be ...
متن کاملTowards an Interface for Music Mixing based on Smart Tangibles and Multitouch
This paper presents the continuous work towards the development of an interface for music mixing targeted towards expert sound technicians and producers. The mixing interface uses a stage metaphor mapping scheme where audio channels are represented as digital widgets on a 2D surface. These can be controlled by multi touch or by smart tangibles, which are tangible blocks with embedded sensors. T...
