PAPER | Augmenting Spatial Skills with Mobile Devices
Doug Boari, Mike Fraser, University of Bristol, UK
Danae Stanton Fraser, University of Bath, UK
Kirsten Cater, University of Bristol, UK
Shows efficiency of mental rotation over touch or tilt techniques
on smartphones and tablet PCs. Describes implications for
designing mobile applications to enhance spatial skills.
PAPER | The Normal Natural Troubles of Driving
with GPS %
Barry Brown, Mobile Life Centre, Stockholm University, Sweden
Eric Laurier, University of Edinburgh, UK
Presents a video analysis study of driving using GPS navigation

PAPER | Implicit Imitation in Social Tagging: Familiarity
and Semantic Reconstruction
Paul Seitlinger, Graz University of Technology, Austria
Tobias Ley, Tallinn University, Estonia
Presents a multinomial model and experiment formalizing
cognitive processes in social imitation in tagging. Allows
researchers to differentiate implicit and explicit imitation and to
assess the impact of different design choices.
PAPER | Annotating BI Visualization Dashboards: Needs
& Challenges
Micheline Elias, Ecole Centrale Paris, France
Anastasia Bezerianos, INRIA, France
Presents the user-centered design of a visualization dashboard,
which supports context aware and multi-chart annotations applied
across visualizations and data dimension levels. Discusses
challenges in annotating dynamic and hierarchical data.

NOTE | Choosing to Interleave: Human Error
and Information Access Cost %
Jonathan Back, Anna Cox, Duncan Brumby, University College
London, UK
Empirical study demonstrating that the cost of accessing
information can impact on multitasking performance. Choosing to
interleave the programming of medical devices can result in more
omission errors.

alt.chi | Knowing, Not Doing: Modalities of Gameplay
Expertise in World of Warcraft Addons
Victoria McArthur, Tamara Peyton, Jennifer Jenson,
Nicholas Taylor, York University, Canada
Suzanne de Castell, Simon Fraser University, Canada
We present a categorization of WoW addons using a multifaceted
expertise framework, proposing a theoretically-grounded and
empirically-driven model for conceptualizing the ways that addons
extend different expressions of game-based ability.
alt.chi | hipDisk: Understanding the Value of Ungainly,
Embodied, Performative, Fun
danielle wilde, independent practitioner
hipDisk is an ungainly musical body extension that prompts
awkward engagement to facilitate embodied learning. The
research champions process-driven, performative research
methodologies, epistemologically different to qualitative and
quantitative approaches.
alt.chi | Exploring Mischief and Mayhem in Social
Computing or: How We Learned to Stop Worrying and
Love the Trolls
Ben Kirman, Conor Lineham, Shaun Lawson, University of Lincoln, UK
Explores the role of mischief in creating humour and novel
experiences in social computing systems. Framing mischief as
appropriation, we argue for the value in borderline social acceptibility.
alt.chi | Virtual Postcards: Multimodal Stories of Online Play
Nick Taylor, Victoria McArthur, Jennifer Jenson, York University,
Canada
This paper documents a multimodal data collection tool
developed for research on online videogames. The ‘virtual
travelogue’ breaks new methodological ground by letting players
share visual archives of their gaming.
