We argue that measuring the Inviscid text entry rate requires new evaluation methods that support freeform text entry and that are not based on the traditional transcription/copy tasks. In this position paper we propose use of image description tasks and share some of our experiences of using this new language agnostic task type for free form text entry.

This paper describes the prototype implementation of a pervasive, wearable gestural input and control system based on a full body-motion-capture system using low-power wireless sensors. Body motion is used to implement a whole body gesture-driven interface to afford control over ambient computing devices.

Edge computing requires the addressing of several challenges in terms of privacy, complexity, bandwidth and battery life. While in the past attempts have been made to predict users’ responsiveness to smartphone notifications, we show that this is possible with a minimal number of just three features synthesized from non-sensor based data. Our approach demonstrates that it is possible to classify user attentiveness to notifications with good accuracy, and predict response time to any type of notification within a margin of 1 minute, without the need for personalized modelling.

Research in mobile text entry has long focused on speed and input errors during lab studies. However, little is known about how input errors emerge in real- world situations or how users deal with these. We present findings from an in-the-wild study of everyday text entry and discuss their implications for future studies.
