Twist It, Touch It, Push It, Swipe It: Evaluating Secondary Input Devices for Use with an Automotive Touchscreen HMI (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Large, D. R., Burnett, G., Crundall, E., Lawson, G., & Skrypchuk, L. (2016, October). Twist It, Touch It, Push It, Swipe It: Evaluating Secondary Input Devices for Use with an Automotive Touchscreen HMI. Presented at 8th International Conference on Automotive User Interfaces and Interactive Vehicular Applications, Ann Arbor, MI, USA

Touchscreen Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs) inherently demand some visual attention. By employing a secondary device, to work in unison with a touchscreen, some of this demand may be alleviated. In a medium-fidelity driving simulator, twenty-four dri... Read More about Twist It, Touch It, Push It, Swipe It: Evaluating Secondary Input Devices for Use with an Automotive Touchscreen HMI.

Multimodal “sensory illusions” for improving spatial awareness in virtual environments (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Lawson, G., Roper, T., & Abdullah, C. (2016, September). Multimodal “sensory illusions” for improving spatial awareness in virtual environments. Presented at European Conference on Cognitive Ergonomics 2016

Inaccurate judgement of distances in virtual environments (VEs) restricts their usefulness for engineering development, in which engineers must have a good understanding of the spaces they are designing. Multimodal feedback can improve depth percept... Read More about Multimodal “sensory illusions” for improving spatial awareness in virtual environments.

Establishing usability heuristics for heuristics evaluation in a specific domain: is there a consensus? (2016)
Journal Article
Hermawati, S., & Lawson, G. (2016). Establishing usability heuristics for heuristics evaluation in a specific domain: is there a consensus?. Applied Ergonomics, 56, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apergo.2015.11.016

Heuristics evaluation is frequently employed to evaluate usability. While general heuristics are suitable to evaluate most user interfaces, there is still a need to establish heuristics for specific domains to ensure that their specific usability iss...
