    During collocated meetings, the spontaneous need for information, called opportunistic search, might arise while conversing. However, using smartphones to look up information might be disruptive, disrespectful or even embarrassing in social contexts. We propose an alternative instrument for this practice: Glance Mug, A touch-sensitive mug prototype that listens to the conversation and displays browsable content-driven results on its inner screen. We organized 15 pairs of one-to-one meetings between students to gather user reflections. the user study revealed that the mug has the potential for supporting instant search and affords sufficient subtlety to conceal user actions. Yet, it provoked some anxiety for the users in maintaining eye contact with their partners. Our main contributions are the context-aware mug concept tested in a real-life setting and the analysis through Hornecker and Buur's Tangible interaction Framework that discusses its design space, and its impact on the users and social interaction.

    Coffee cup reading as an inspiration for looking into augmented mugs in social interaction

    Augmented mugs are mostly used as non-interactive displays showing images, or providing information about the liquid content. However, there has not been sufficient research on what kind of affordances mugs could offer as tangible interfaces and how people might use them in face-to-face social settings. To fill this gap, we examined Turkish coffee fortune-telling, a socio-cultural practice based on deliberate physical interaction with coffee cup for reading and creating stories out of coffee ground shapes. First, we organized coffee cup reading sessions with 18 fortune-tellers whose analysis yielded 11 characteristics reflecting user behavior with cups. A follow-up cross-cultural study served as a first step for understanding the potential generalizability of these findings. Our main contribution consists of the characteristics we derived and the related potential interaction techniques we discuss for augmented mugs with an inner display. We also contextualize our findings by two scenarios in which the mug is used as a tangible interface in social interaction settings.

    Temporal expressions in speech and gesture
    (The Cognitive Science Society, 2016) N/A; Department of Psychology; Department of Psychology; Department of Media and Visual Arts; Börütecene, Ahmet; Bostan, İdil; Göksun, Tilbe; Özcan, Oğuzhan; PhD Student; Undergraduate Student; Faculty Member; Faculty Member; Department of Psychology; Department of Media and Visual Arts; KU Arçelik Research Center for Creative Industries (KUAR) / KU Arçelik Yaratıcı Endüstriler Uygulama ve Araştırma Merkezi (KUAR); Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/A; N/A; 47278; 12532
    People use spatial metaphors to talk about temporal concepts. They also gesture frequently during speech. The characteristics of these gestures give information regarding the mental timelines people form to experience time. The present study investigates the expression of temporal concepts on a natural setting with Turkish speakers. We found that Turkish speakers used more metaphoric temporal phrases (e.g., short period, time flies quickly) than words referring to time without spatial content (e.g., today, nowadays) in a session where they talked about people's fortune. Spontaneous gestures were mainly classified as metaphoric and beat gestures and were mostly produced on the sagittal axis, which contradicts with the previous findings. Yet, we also found that people used vertical axis to represent current and future events. These findings suggest that lateral axis may not always be the most common direction for co-speech temporal gesture use, and the pragmatic constraints of the environment may influence the spatial conceptualization of time.

    Informing design decisions for advice mediating handheld devices by studying coffee cup reading
    (Assoc Computing Machinery, 2016) N/A; Department of Psychology; Department of Psychology; Department of Media and Visual Arts; Börütecene, Ahmet; Bostan, İdil; Göksun, Tilbe; Özcan, Oğuzhan; PhD Student; Undergraduate Student; Faculty Member; Faculty Member; Department of Psychology; Department of Media and Visual Arts; Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/A; N/A; 47278; 12532
    Several studies have been made on advice encounters supported by tabletop displays, yet the potential of handheld devices in enhancing advice interaction still remains open to research. As an attempt to fill this gap in the literature, we chose Turkish coffee fortune-telling, as it is a centuries-old practice of giving advice that is based on the use of a cup and saucer. We organized sessions with 34 fortune-tellers and analyzed their verbal and non-verbal interaction during advice instances. Our analysis resulted in 7 preliminary design considerations: single-hand interaction, beat gestures to augment advice messages, body as a reference point, different ways of sharing information, manipulating objects to soften advice messages, multiple advisor profiles and regulating gaze interaction. To see how these considerations would be employed in practice, we organized a participatory design workshop which yielded 6 handheld device concepts that proposed stimulating mechanisms for advice interaction.
