usable gestures for mobile interfaces evaluating social acceptability
Human Factors in Computing Systems, 2010Co-Authors: Julie Rico, Stephen BrewsterAbstract:Gesture-based mobile interfaces require users to change the way they use technology in Public settings. Since mobile phones are part of our Public Appearance, designers must integrate gestures that users perceive as acceptable for pub-lic use. This topic has received little attention in the litera-ture so far. The studies described in this paper begin to look at the social acceptability of a set of gestures with re-spect to location and audience in order to investigate possi-ble ways of measuring social acceptability. The results of the initial survey showed that location and audience had a significant impact on a user's willingness to perform ges-tures. These results were further examined through a user study where participants were asked to perform gestures in different settings (including a busy street) over repeated trials. The results of this work provide gesture design rec-ommendations as well as social acceptability evaluation guidelines.

the us firefighter s perception and lived experience with station work uniform occupational safety concerns in Public Appearance
International Journal of Fashion Design Technology and Education, 2018Co-Authors: Juyeon Park, Alan FletcherAbstract:ABSTRACTThis study investigated US firefighters’ perceptions and lived experiences with their station uniform worn when they were involved in non-fire activities in the Public domain. We developed an online survey questionnaire that included close- and open-ended questions, which allowed to obtain both quantitative and qualitative data, and it was administered to 342 US firefighters. The findings of this study demonstrated the phenomenon associated with US firefighters’ Appearance and Public confusion in non-fire occupational contexts. The narratives collected from the open-ended questions offered in-depth insights into the confused Public identity and challenged occupational safety experienced by US firefighters in their work uniform. This study suggested the findings must be carefully examined to improve the Public identity of US firefighters by creating a distinctive look of their work uniform, as well as to establish national regulations, to address the increased risks of potential threats in the cont...
