Abstract

In collocated collaboration, group members frequently compare, discuss, and decide on ideas or partial solutions to reach an overall goal. To facilitate comparison, documentation as well as votes of the outcomes of such discussions, we apply mobile phones using mobile device-based interaction techniques. Such interaction techniques provide eyes-free and easy input without interacting with the screen content directly. We present three mobile device-based interactions for direct voting in collaborative scenarios, namely Order, Shift, and Turn. In an online user survey with 30 participants, we investigated the proposed interactions concerning their usability and UX aspects as well as their suitability for collocated collaborative voting. We found that they are overall easy to use and playful which leads to a positive UX. Especially Order was assessed as clear and simple interaction technique. We received additional feedback that helps us to improve the proposed interactions further to support collocated collaboration extensively.
