Toward Lightweight In-situ Self-reporting: An Exploratory Study of Alternative Smartwatch ...
summary
Study tests eight smartwatch interface probes with twenty-four participants across three simulated scenarios (walking, gaming, social chatting). It compares continuous gestures versus discrete input and single-card versus hierarchical layout options, finding no one-size-fits-all: continuous gestures suit sedentary contexts and enable eyes-free use, discrete taps work better when mobile, and hierarchical layouts support micro-scheduling by splitting selections. Participants exploit the watch bezel and counted taps to make eyes-free selections, showing pragmatic strategies designers should support.
