Abstract

Social Proximity Applications (SPAs) has been an emerging hot topic in recent mobile research communities. However, the traditional SPA interfaces rely on heavy interaction load in visual attention. This is always problematic when people are on the move. This paper describes our research-in-progress in designing and developing a suitable SPA interface for the use in a night market. Night markets embody a distinct cultural habitat for social life in Taiwan. Visitors are continuously bombarded with surrounding information. The results showed our non-visual interaction approach could be a successful means in user interfaces in this type of situations.
