Abstract:
New equipments and software for providing different modes for user interaction emerged and became popular in the last decade; they are used in various devices, such as mobile and game consoles, which can display Web pages due to the increasing of the processing power in these devices. Since interaction with each mode has peculiarities, when a user is interacting with a mode not considered in the design time, she might have interaction problems. Here, we present our work about Web navigation with motion sensors; we chose Google Maps, Google Street View, and TelEduc, which is an e-learning environment, to evaluate the use of WiiMote, the motion sensor of Wii console. In this paper, we analyze data from the first case study (Google Maps and Google Street View) and preliminary results from the second one (TelEduc). The collected data confirm our previous findings; adaptations are necessary to users have a good experience when navigating through web pages using a motion sensor.
