Design Intervention To Aid Young Indians In Identifying Triggers Of Generalised Anxiety Disorder (Gad), Nilanjana Bairagi, Ajithsenb Selvadhas, Sowndarya Acharya
IASDR Conference Series
Generalised anxiety disorder (GAD) is an emotional and fear-based, recurrent response to a perceived or real threat. It causes difficulty in dealing with every-day experiences. It afflicts 13.9% of the urban residents in India and requires a proactive approach to coping. GAD is not caused by stress but rather is sensitive to stress. Varying stimuli lead to automatic, unexpected and intense reactions called triggers. Awareness about triggers helps one understand their emotional thresholds and supports self-management. The existing literature provides a multi-variant perspective about nudges that cause anxiety. However, localised probing is minimal in India due to a lack of …

Preserving Theoretically-Grounded Functions Across Media Platforms In Interaction Design, Brian Sekelsky, Matthew Peterson, Cesar Delgado, Karen B. Chen
Preserving Theoretically-Grounded Functions Across Media Platforms In Interaction Design, Brian Sekelsky, Matthew Peterson, Cesar Delgado, Karen B. Chen
IASDR Conference Series
Designers often address the continuity of user experiences across various media platforms. Features are the focus of media development. But the media-dependency of features means that truly preserving the essence of one feature across media platforms, in a process of cross-media translation, can result in superficially dissimilar features. We describe function mapping as an aid in this translation, in which design features are derived from theoretical assertions, and in turn an understanding of underlying functions permits the translation of features to other media platforms. We demonstrate this in a case study of translation from a VR installation, to portable VR, …

Scalable Ehmi: Automated Vehicles-Pedestrian Interactions Design Based On Gestalt Principles, Yunhui Gao, Luo Wang, Ziteng Zhang
Scalable Ehmi: Automated Vehicles-Pedestrian Interactions Design Based On Gestalt Principles, Yunhui Gao, Luo Wang, Ziteng Zhang
IASDR Conference Series
The existing research on external human-machine interfaces (eHMIs) targeted at augmenting interactions between automated vehicles (AVs) and pedestrians has primarily concentrated on pedestrian crossings in one-to-one encounters. Nevertheless, in practical situations, pedestrians must assimilate additional information regarding the status of multiple vehicles while crossing. In order to enhance the efficacy of eHMIs in authentic situations, there is a requisite for more succinct and efficient information transmission. In response to this requirement, we have formulated an electronic Human-Machine Interface (eHMI) that is grounded on the Gestalt principle as the fundamental theoretical framework. We have assessed the efficacy of this approach through …
