Using elicitation studies to generate collocated interaction methods

Abstract

Elicitation studies allow collecting interaction methods directly from end-users by presenting the users with the end effect of an operation and then asking them to perform the action that caused it. Applying elicitation studies in the domain of collocated interaction might enable designing more intuitive and natural group interaction methods. However, in the past elicitation studies have primarily been conducted with individual users -- they have rarely been applied to groups. In this paper, we report our initial experiences in using the elicitation study methodology to generate interaction methods for groups of collocated users with wearable devices.
