Abstract
Interface designs on both small and large displays can encourage
people to alter their physical distance to the display.
Mobile devices support this form of interaction naturally, as
the user can move the device closer or further away as needed.
The current generation of mobile devices can employ computer
vision, depth sensing and other inference methods to determine
the distance between the user and the display. Once this
distance is known, a system can adapt the rendering of display
content accordingly and enable proximity-aware mobile interfaces.
The dominant method of exploiting proximity-aware
interfaces is to remove or superimpose visual information. In
this paper, we investigate change blindness in such interfaces.
We present the results of two experiments. In our first experiment
we show that a proximity-aware mobile interface
results in significantly more change blindness errors than a
non-moving interface. The absolute difference in error rates
was 13.7%. In our second experiment we show that within a
proximity-aware mobile interface, gradual changes induce significantly
more change blindness errors than instant changes—
confirming expected change blindness behavior. Based on our
results we discuss the implications of either exploiting change
blindness effects or mitigating them when designing mobile
proximity-aware interfaces.
