Director
Liam Betsworth, Matt Jones · 2015
When using a mobile device as a navigation aid, we are used to receiving computer-generated routes and directions. Remote guidance, however, remains an underexplored design space in mobile interaction design. In this paper, we introduce Director, a novel, remote guidance mechanism for the positioning of people in outdoor spaces using mobile devices. We conducted a study to test our novel positioning technique, testing its guiding accuracy and effect on Preferred Walking Speed (PWS). Our results suggest that Director offers users a fun and playful experience, and that our novel guidance technique is a very accurate remote mechanism.
