人们越来越多地将智能手表与智能手机、笔记本电脑或平板电脑等其他设备结合使用。这允许新颖的跨设备应用,使用手表作为输入设备和输出显示。然而,尽管智能手表的可用性越来越高,但以手表为中心的跨设备应用程序的原型设计仍然是一项具有挑战性的任务。开发人员在他们可以探索的应用程序中受到限制,因为可用的工具包仅提供对用于跨设备交互的不同类型的输入传感器的有限访问。为了解决这个问题,我们引入了WatchConnect,这是一个用于快速原型化跨设备应用程序和智能手表交互技术的工具包。该工具包为开发人员提供了(i)一个可扩展的硬件平台,可以模拟智能手表,(ii)一个与现有UI构建器集成的UI框架,以及(iii)一组丰富的输入和输出事件,使用一系列内置传感器映射。我们展示了五个交互技术和应用程序的工具包的多功能性和设计空间。
People increasingly use smartwatches in tandem with other devices such as smartphones, laptops or tablets. This allows for novel cross-device applications that use the watch as both input device and output display. However, despite the increasing availability of smartwatches, prototyping cross-device watch-centric applications remains a challenging task. Developers are limited in the applications they can explore as available toolkits provide only limited access to different types of input sensors for cross-device interactions. To address this problem, we introduce WatchConnect, a toolkit for rapidly prototyping cross-device applications and interaction techniques with smartwatches. The toolkit provides developers with (i) an extendable hardware platform that emulates a smartwatch, (ii) a UI framework that integrates with an existing UI builder, and (iii) a rich set of input and output events using a range of built-in sensor mappings. We demonstrate the versatility and design space of the toolkit with five interaction techniques and applications.
