CloakingNote: A Novel Desktop Interface for Subtle Writing Using Decoy Texts
summary
A desktop prototype overlays a prominent decoy text overlay and a separate two transparent windows for the real text, rendering predrawn letters into the decoy as keys are pressed; font, color and position are configurable. A subtlety study varying low/mid/high contrast finds about half of observers fail to notice the hidden real text, and a performance test shows contrast affects typing speed but overall reasonable accuracy. Users adopt three layout strategies: program match, background match, and distracted (6, 6, 5 participants).
