Motivation -- Talking out loud with synthetic characters in a virtual world is currently considered as a treatment for social phobic patients. The use of keyword detection, instead of full speech recognition will make the system more robust. Important therefore is the need to increase the chance that users use specific keywords during their conversation. Research approach -- A two by two experiment, in which participants (n = 20) were asked to answer a number of open questions. Prior to the session participants watched priming videos or unrelated videos. Furthermore, during the session they could see priming pictures or unrelated pictures on a whiteboard behind the person who asked the questions. Findings/Design -- Initial results suggest that participants more often mention specific keywords in their answers when they see priming pictures or videos instead of unrelated pictures or videos. Research limitations/Implications -- If visual priming in the background can increase the chance that people use specific keywords in their discussion with a dialogue partner, it might be possible to create dialogues in a virtual environment which users perceive as natural. Take away message -- Visual priming might be able to steer people's answers in a dialogue.

Motivation -- To understand the individual differences with the greatest impact on a blind user's mobile interaction effectiveness and learning abilities. Research approach -- We performed a semi-structured interview to 10 specialized professionals (psychologists, occupational therapists, rehabilitation technicians, IT teacher) working closely with blind users. Findings/Design -- Results suggest that peripheral sensitivity, spatial ability, blindness onset age, age, intelligence and memory are the characteristics affecting user capabilities the most. Research limitations/Implications -- This study offers a wide view on the possible influencing attributes. Empirical studies are required to dissect the impact of each characteristic in mobile blind users' performance. Originality/Value -- We contribute with an understanding of the individual differences among the blind population that may affect mobile interaction. Take away message -- Individual differences among the blind have greater impact than those between sighted users. Understanding these differences is mandatory.

Motivation -- The purpose of this research is to analyze different aspects of human trust affecting to the use of ubiquitous intelligent transportation systems. In general, the aim is to contribute to the conceptual foundations of trust in human-technology interaction. Research approach -- In addition to a literature review, various approaches from user psychological laboratory studies with a driving simulator to interview and field observation studies of authentic situations are used. Findings/Design -- The preliminary results suggest that even though these kinds of safety-critical ubiquitous systems are designed to improve safety, they can often have contrary effects when users' trust towards them is inappropriate. Research limitations/Implications -- Only Finnish based university students have participated in the driving simulator studies, which limits the possible generalisation of the findings. Originality/Value -- Previous public research regarding trust in ubiquitous intelligent transportation systems has been scarce. However, some applicable results have been achieved in the field of traditional ubicomp research. This research also makes a contribution to study the user psychological aspects of the concept of trust in ubiquitous intelligent transportation system. Take away message -- Trust is one of the most important factors that needs to be taken into account when evaluating and designing new ubiquitous intelligent transportation systems.

Motivation -- Both multi-team systems and awareness displays have been studied more often in the past years, but there hasn't been much focus on the combination of these two subjects. Apart from doing so, we are particularly interested in the difficulties encountered when multi-team systems are distributed among different locations and how interface technology plays a role in overcoming these. We hypothesise that an activity awareness display will positively effect the performance of teams that are collaborating at a distance. Research approach -- During an experiment we look at two teams of two persons each working together on a complex task. In total 20 multi-teams are tested. Half of them is provided with a display containing information about the other team in order to raise their activity awareness. Performance, time, communication and back-up behaviour are measured. After the task participants are questioned about their perceived performance, workload and inter-team coordination. Design -- An activity awareness display should communicate the current activity being executed, the status of that activity, and the workload of the remote team. Originality/Value -- The goal of this project is to lay out a theoretical base for designing tools to improve the performance of remotely collaborating teams such as Urban Search And Rescue teams missions. Take away message -- An awareness display hypothetically improves multi-team performance through more back-up behaviour and less communication.

Motivation -- A situation map that shows the overview of a disaster situation serves as a valuable tool for disaster response teams. It helps them orientate their location and make disaster response decisions. It is, however, a quite complicated task to rapidly generate a comprehensive situation map of a disaster area. In this paper, we report on an investigation of how two persons can collaborate to make a situation map. Research approach -- We performed a controlled laboratory experiment, in which 32 participants (grouped into 16 pairs) made a situation map of incidents. The experiment was set up as a two-way repeated-measures design with the type of collaboration and the availability of confidence level information as within-subject factors. Findings/Design -- The results suggest that the collaboration type can affect the quality of the situation map. Additionally, the results also suggest that the availability of confidence information influences the discussion process during collaboration. The participants perceived the availability of confidence level information as being positive. Research limitations/Implications -- The order of using the types of collaboration might have caused a learning effect by participants. Furthermore, the lack of a practice session might have had an influence on participants' object recognition during the first session of the experiment. Originality/Value -- The study takes the position that the affected population in a disaster can actively participate in the situation-map making process. Take away message -- Situation map-making might benefit from a simple collaborative action such as sharing a map including confidence information.

Motivation -- To provide to physical therapists a monitoring system with effective and accurate patient monitoring and evolution analysis. Research approach -- We analyzed therapy sessions with tetraplegic patients to better understand the rehabilitation process and highlight the major requirements for a technology-enhanced tool. We developed a prototype able to automate and improve the current monitoring and follow-up processes. Findings/Design -- Preliminary results indicate that computational movement analysis and comparison can improve the quality of a rehabilitation session and overall patient evolution analysis. Research limitations/Implications -- Analysis and studies have been performed in a rehabilitation centre with a limited set of therapists (3) and patients (7). Originality/Value -- The research herein contributes with a requirement analysis for a computer-assisted rehabilitation platform. We present a tracking-based system instantiating these requirements and outline its values after a preliminary informal validation. Take away message -- The capture and virtual playback of motion in physical therapy sessions increases therapist awareness of patient condition and evolution thus improving the rehabilitation process.

Motivation -- To support group commanders of small tactical units in information exchange and decision making while in the field, a mobile system called Commanders Dashboard is developed. Research approach -- Based on a situated Cognitive Engineering (sCE) methodology, user requirements and claims for this decision support system are specified. A prototype system is designed that presents a geographical overview, (changes in) the assignment and decision support. A first assessment of these claims is done by having four end-users interact with the prototype on a mission through a virtual environment. A qualitative analysis with questionnaires and a debriefing discussion gives insight into the ease and accuracy of decision making and user experience of the prototype. Findings -- The sCE methodology helped to establish a first---theoretical and empirical founded---decision support prototype to be iteratively improved. Users were very positive about ease of use and decision support from the system. However, auditory feedback, the amount of information presented and user trust should be improved. Research limitations/Implications -- The generalizability of the evaluation outcomes is limited because of a small number of qualitative measures and end-users. Originality/Value -- This research emphasizes that incorporating operational demands and human factors knowledge helps to improve and refine the knowledge base for the design of mobile decision support. Take away message -- Future decision support should show how tactical changes affect the Commanders options.

Motivation -- For organizational changes to be successful, adaptation and employees' collaboration are frequently needed and, often implies to learn new skills and perform new tasks. Organizational changes occur in phases from the analysis of the current problems to the creation and implementation of solutions. Furthermore, people with different learning styles seem to adapt better to these different phases. The main goal of our project is to develop a system that allows for collaboration through the organizational phases in an adaptive way as a function of the learning style. Research approach -- After a pilot study that establishes the exact connection between learning styles and performance in organizational phases, an initial prototype of the adaptive system is described. Findings/Design -- The main goals of our research project are to explore the relationships between learning styles and organizational changes and to design an adaptive system for learning styles during the different phases of organizational changes. Research limitations/Implications -- Research on this line has been scarce and the need of considering collaboration and communication adds complexity to the task at hand. Originality/Value -- The relevance of this research is theoretical and practical. Theoretically this research will help to understand the connection between the organizational lifecycles and learning styles. In practice, the development of an adaptive system for learning skills and procedures, and not only content, will help organizations in the process of adapting successfully to changes. Take away message -- An adaptive system that motivates employees to learn the proper skills needed and guide them during organizational changes can decrease rejections to change in organizations and increase success.

Motivation -- To enrich our understanding of the factors that influence the decision to overtake against two way traffic, and this, beyond the limitations of the human visual system in making spatiotemporal estimations. Such understanding may be valuable for the design of future adaptive aid systems. Research approach -- An explorative naturalistic observation was conducted with a vehicle equipped with three cameras travelling at normal speed for a total distance of 300 km. 40 unobtrusive observations of overtaking episodes were recorded. Findings/Design -- The data is still at the analysis stage. There is however evidence that before the decision to overtake (i) there is a preparation phase prior to the initiation of the overtaking manoeuvre which deals with the intentions/state of the driver ahead and (ii) frequent users of the particular road will use their specific knowledge and initiate overtaking manoeuvres Research limitations/Implications -- The study has an explorative character mainly for generating hypotheses and cannot as such prove its findings without subsequent complementary methods. Originality/Value -- A contribution of the present paper is on the observation method which ensures the collection of data with a high degree of ecological validity. Take away message -- Spatiotemporal estimation just prior to manoeuvre initiation is only one of the factors influencing the decision to overtake. For understanding naturally occurring overtaking manoeuvres longer time frames of analysis are needed
