Abstract:
This presentation will summarise recent work in which we have been exploiting the display, interface and data collection potential of mobile devices such as the iPad. In one series of experiments we have implemented the MILO task (Thornton & Horowitz, 2004 Perception & Psychophysics 66 38-50) as a simple app and shown how it can be used to explore future planning during sequential search. In a second series of experiments we explore how passive and active tracking of multiple targets might be related. Finally, we exploit the tilt control of the iPad to examine whether action eliminates errors in displays that cause motion-induced illusory displacement. In addition to standard behavioural measures, we will also consider how indirect measures, such as posture and applied force can be easily acquired during data collection. The potential for conducting remote, large-scale studies will also be discussed.
