twenty students and developed four visualization methods: (a) a heat map, (b) an ellipse map, (c) two moving bars, and (d) a vertical bar, which were overlaid on 13 instructional videos. Our results revealed unexpected preferences among the instructors. Contrary to expectations, they did not prefer the established heat map and vertical bar for live online instruction.

intrusive ellipse visualization. Nevertheless, the heat map remained the preferred choice for retrospective analysis due to its more detailed information. Importantly, all visualizations were found to be useful and to help restore emotional connections in online learning. In conclusion, our innovative visualizations of crowd attention show considerable potential for a wide range of applications, extending beyond e-learning to all online presentations and retrospective analyses.

We used a remote speaker to bring a thin wooden surface into vibration for providing haptic feedback when a small graphical fly glued on the board was touched. Participants assigned the vibration to the fly instead of the board it was glued on. We therefore explored when that assignment illusion works best. The results indicate that additional sound, as well as vibration, lasting as long as the touch, are essential factors for having an assignment of the haptic feedback to the touched graphical object. With this approach, we contribute to ubiquitous and calm computing by showing that resonant frequency can provide vibrotactile feedback for images on thin everyday surfaces using only a minimum of hardware.},

abstract = {Vibrations are the dominant way to create haptic feedback for interactive systems and are most often induced by vibrotactile actuators. However, virtual content created for augmented reality usually does not support that modality, instead relying mainly on visual and auditive output. Aiming to provide haptic feedback for augmented reality in cases where real vibrations cannot be used, we explore how vibrations can be felt using vision and audio only. In a user study, a virtual 10 x 10 cm white square-shaped cuboid was influenced by animation and/or sound to induce a haptic illusion when being touched. We were able to identify a specific range where the perception of vibration was significantly stronger and more realistic compared to all other values. This was the case if the virtual object’s edges were blurred up to a range of 0.4 cm or 0.6 cm, correspondingly accompanied by sounds, where the spectrum was cut off at a frequency of 256 Hz (for 0.4 cm) or 966 Hz (for 0.6 cm). With that, we aim to enrich augmented reality systems.},
