Abstract

Public displays are often used to broadcast large amounts of information to people who pass by the displays. Flight departure boards, stock market displays and information systems at large conferences are examples for this kind of pervasive displays. While such displays serve a large number of users, one key disadvantage for individual users results from the difficulty to pinpoint which of the many items shown is relevant to them. This paper introduces a novel method to address this problem through visual highlighting and compares it to existing approaches. In doing so, we propose a set of criteria, that can also be used by designers of public display systems to select the most well suited approach for a given application scenario. In addition, these criteria can contribute towards ensuring the comparability of future studies in public display systems.
