智能手表和健身追踪器等可穿戴设备越来越受欢迎，这就需要应用程序开发人员将用户界面(通常是从智能手机)调整或扩展到这些设备上。可穿戴设备的外形尺寸通常比手机小；因此，将一款应用程序移植到手表上必然会涉及到重新设计用户界面。一个悬而未决的问题是确定使用户界面适应可穿戴设备的最佳实践。本文对可穿戴设备用户界面适应的实践状况进行了研究和数据集。我们自动从101个流行的Android应用程序中提取UI设计，这些应用程序同时具有手机和手表版本，并手动标记每个UI元素以及应用程序中的屏幕如何从手机转换到可穿戴设备。本文指出了自适应策略的发展趋势，并提出了设计指南。我们预计，本文确定的用户界面自适应策略可以对未来的研究和该领域的最佳实践产生广泛的影响，例如为未来评估哪些策略可提高用户满意度或自动自适应用户界面的用户研究奠定基础。
Wearable devices, such as smart watches and fitness trackers are growing in popularity, creating a need for application developers to adapt or extend a UI, typically from a smartphone, onto these devices. Wearables generally have a smaller form factor than a phone; thus, porting an app to the watch necessarily involves reworking the UI. An open problem is identifying best practices for adapting UIs to wearable devices.This paper contributes a study and data set of the state of practice in UI adaptation for wearables. We automatically extract UI designs from a set of 101 popular Android apps that have both a phone and watch version, and manually label how each UI element, as well as how screens in the app, are translated from the phone to the wearable. The paper identifies trends in adaptation strategies and presents design guidelines.We expect that the UI adaptation strategies identified in this paper can have wide-ranging impacts for future research and identifying best practices in this space, such as grounding future user studies that evaluate which strategies improve user satisfaction or automatically adapting UIs.
