    Tactowel: a subtle sports performance display for giving real-time performance feedback in tennis

    Sports technology enhances athletes' performance by providing feedback. However, interaction techniques of current devices may overwhelm athletes with excessive information or distract them from their performance. Despite previous research, design knowledge on how to interact with these devices to prevent such occasions are scarce. To address this gap, we introduce subtle displays as real-time sports performance feedback output devices that unobtrusively present low-resolution information. In this paper, we conceptualize and apply subtle displays to tennis by designing Tactowel, a texture changing sports towel. We evaluate Tactowel through a remote user study with 8 professional tennis players, in which they experience, compare and discuss Tactowel. Our results suggest subtle displays could prevent overwhelming and distracting athletes through three distinct design strategies: (1) Restricting the use excluding duration of performance, (2) using the available routines and interactions, and (3) giving an overall abstraction through tangible interaction. We discuss these results to present design implications and future considerations for designing subtle displays.

    Evaluation of the usefulness of path of long-term user experience model in design process
    (Taylor _ Francis, 2020) Karahanoğlu, Armağan; Department of Media and Visual Arts; Bakırlıoğlu, Yekta; Researcher; Department of Media and Visual Arts; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 164439
    User experience evolves in accordance with users' attitudes, habits, and personality, as well as their prior experiences. Even though there are attempts to holistically frame the long-term experience of interactive products, there is still debate on how to guide designers in the design process of those products. To tackle this issue, this paper proposes the usage of Path of Long-Term User Experience (PLUX) model in design process. To interrogate the usefulness of the model, we conducted two studies. First, we adopted, adapted and tested the applicability of the backcasting approach, together with the visual materials that could be used in the design process. Following this, we tested the effectiveness of using the PLUX model as a guidance tool in designing interactive products. The PLUX model together with the backcasting approach helps designers to better ground their decisions in the design process and to find ways to enrich long-term user experience. The stages of user experience as well as the human and product-related qualities of the PLUX model facilitated in-depth reflection, and espoused creative interpretations of these qualities for ideation. However, the high level of detail is found limiting at times, depending on the ways the model is utilised.

    It is more than personal: development and validation of a multidimensional privacy orientation scale
    (Elsevier, 2014) Department of Media and Visual Arts; Department of Psychology; Baruh, Lemi; Cemalcılar, Zeynep; Faculty Member; Faculty Member; Department of Media and Visual Arts; Department of Psychology; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 36113; 40374
    This study summarizes the development and validation of a multidimensional privacy orientation scale designed for measuring privacy attitudes of Social Network Site (SNS) users. Findings confirm the existence of four dimensions: 1) belief in the value of “privacy as a right”; 3) “othercontingent privacy”; 2) “concern about own informational privacy” and 4) “concern about privacy of others.” Moreover, a segmentation of SNS users reveals three types of users: 1) privacy advocates, who are concerned about both their own and other people’s privacy; 2) privacy individualists, who are concerned mostly about their own privacy, and 3) privacy indifferents, whose score on all dimensions are lower than other segments. The results indicate that the four privacy orientation dimensions and three user segments predict key differences in terms of privacy protective behavior, information disclosure, and viewing personal information of others.

    Systems approach to health service design, delivery and improvement: a systematic review and meta-analysis
    (BMJ Publishing Group, 2021) Komashie, Alexander; Ward, James; Bashford, Tom; Dickerson, Terry; Kaya, Gülsüm Kübra; Liu, Yuanyuan; Kuhn, Isla; Kohler, Katharina; Boddy, Nicholas; O'Kelly, Eugenia; Masters, Joseph; Dean, John; Meads, Catherine; Clarkson, P. John; Department of Media and Visual Arts; Günay, Aslı; Faculty Member; Department of Media and Visual Arts; College of Social Sciences and Humanities
    Objectives: to systematically review the evidence base for a systems approach to healthcare design, delivery or improvement. Design: systematic review with meta-analyses. Methods: included were studies in any patients, in any healthcare setting where a systems approach was compared with usual care which reported quantitative results for any outcomes for both groups. We searched Medline, Embase, HMIC, Health Business Elite, Web of Science, Scopus, PsycINFO and CINAHL from inception to 28 May 2019 for relevant studies. These were screened, and data extracted independently and in duplicate. Study outcomes were stratified by study design and whether they reported patient and/or service outcomes. Meta-analysis was conducted with Revman software V.5.3 using ORs-heterogeneity was assessed using I-2 statistics. Results: of 11 405 records 35 studies were included, of which 28 (80%) were before-and-after design only, five were both before-and-after and concurrent design, and two were randomised controlled trials (RCTs). There was heterogeneity of interventions and wide variation in reported outcome types. Almost all results showed health improvement where systems approaches were used. Study quality varied widely. Exploratory meta-analysis of these suggested favourable effects on both patient outcomes (n=14, OR=0.52 (95% CI 0.38 to 0.71) I-2=91%), and service outcomes (n=18, OR=0.40 (95% CI 0.31 to 0.52) I-2=97%). Conclusions: this study suggests that a systems approaches to healthcare design and delivery results in a statistically significant improvement to both patient and service outcomes. However, better quality studies, particularly RCTs are needed.
