Vi-Bros: Tactile Feedback for Indoor Navigation with a Smartphone and a Smartwatch

Abstract

Vi-Bros is a new interface that simultaneously utilizes two mobile devices, a smartphone and a smartwatch, to provide users with intuitive guidance during indoor navigation. We evaluate the validity of the dual device interaction with the tactile feedback and provide insights for user experience via two experiments; one from a controlled environment and the other from the field. We present the core insights and potential design space for developing multi-device interaction.
