Peter Tarasewich, Tashfeen Bhimdi, Myra Dideles · 2004
This paper discusses field-testing of visual notification cues on a mobile handheld device. Each cue consisted of three multicolored lights preceded by a tactile signal (vibration). After being customized, the cues were sent periodically to the device over a wireless network as users went about their normal activities. User personalization seemed to enhance learning and usefulness of the cues, while the additional tactile signal aided arrival awareness.
