Dec 2003, DRTC ©C.Watters 13 Scenarios Full DL access on range of devices Migration between devices mid-task Collaboration including mixed devices
14
Dec 2003, DRTC ©C.Watters 14 The Problem Accessing data on a small screen is NOT the same as on a larger screen Same data for all users Device display and input get in the way!
15
Dec 2003, DRTC ©C.Watters 15 General Approach ElideTransform Syntactic Semantic Outlining Remove content Compress images Text summarization Retain* Full Images Text/Tables/Forms Bickmore-Schilit Matrix
16

17
Dec 2003, DRTC ©C.Watters 17 Decomposition/Parsing HTML/XML tag clues Structural clues metadata + rules
18

19
Dec 2003, DRTC ©C.Watters 19 Use Features In screens, size matters Small screen is NOT just a small window on a large screen Small screens do work Scrolling minimized Context preserved Search added Hierarchy used
20
Dec 2003, DRTC ©C.Watters 20 Text Transformations Chunk text to logical units Eliminate sideways scroll Keep clear context Add search

25
Dec 2003, DRTC ©C.Watters 25 90% effective over 200 random sites with forms
26
Dec 2003, DRTC ©C.Watters 26 Problems Tables used as display structures Long segments Maps and images within form
27
Dec 2003, DRTC ©C.Watters 27 Tables & forms
28
Dec 2003, DRTC ©C.Watters 28 Tables Using complete large tables on small devices Does it pay to: Use screen space for headings and context Use screen space for a search function For: Simple look up task More complicated task
29
Dec 2003, DRTC ©C.Watters 29 Tables
30
Dec 2003, DRTC ©C.Watters 30 Results:Effectiveness Both tasks did better on whole table For simple task bigger screen significantly better For complex task no significant difference by size For complex task adding context gave significant improvement search caused wrong answers in complex task and more so as the screen got smaller [got to the wrong place faster or just wanted to use it ‘ cause it was there!]
31
Dec 2003, DRTC ©C.Watters 31 Results Size matters for both efficiency and effectiveness Context is worth the space Search function is not necessarily helpful for complex task for table data – Make it optional/toggable

Dec 2003, DRTC ©C.Watters 43 Focus + Context Late Committal Navigation – Do not click thru the hierarchy but go directly – Extract enough info to decide – Brush through hierarchy or list of segments Presence of an overview Continuity of mental model

48
Dec 2003, DRTC ©C.Watters 48 25 site study
49
Dec 2003, DRTC ©C.Watters 49 Comparative Task Completion Use one small screen version to find one story GatewayLinearDirect Migration
50
Dec 2003, DRTC ©C.Watters 50 Study Conclusions Users prefer gateway and direct when they have used the site previously Mental model is important to the user Users performed reading and lookup tasks best on the gateway version
51
Dec 2003, DRTC ©C.Watters 51 Summary of Findings Size matters Stability in mental model matters Images and style matter Input matters Bandwidth matters
52
Dec 2003, DRTC ©C.Watters 52 Summary Understand ramifications of size on value of experience for the user Minimize cognitive overhead of the user DL ’ s should be accessible on mobile devices Save the time of the reader
