    Analysis of the influence of screen size and resolution on work efficiency
    (2014) Klinke, Hermann; Krieger, Christoph; Pickl, Sebastian
    The availability of large high-resolution displays and high-bandwidth digital display interfaces allows us to conduct a user study that compares the effects of a large high-resolution display and smaller displays on productivity and satisfaction for complex office tasks, where we control for pixel density, color, brightness and contrast of the displays using a virtual machine and one single large high-resolution display connected to a single high-end computer. We discuss the advances and current state of display technologies that enable this study and we discuss how our study differs from earlier related work. Participants perform three abstract tasks that simulate complex office work on displays of three different sizes and resolutions but with the same pixel density. Both quantitative and qualitative data has been collected and analyzed. We describe the effects that larger displays have on task completion time, error rate and satisfaction compared to smaller displays. Results indicate that large displays significantly improve productivity of complex office tasks and that users prefer larger displays over smaller displays.

    Mid-Air gestures for window management on large displays
    (2015) Lischke, Lars; Knierim, Pascal; Klinke, Hermann
    We can observe a continuous trend for using larger screens with higher resolutions and greater pixel density. With advances in hard- and software technology, wall-sized displays for daily office work are already on the horizon. We assume that there will be no hard paradigm change in interaction techniques in the near future. Therefore, new concepts for wall-sized displays will be included in existing products. Designing interaction concepts for wall-sized displays in an office environment is a challenging task. Most crucial is designing appropriate input techniques. Moving the mouse pointer from one corner to another over a longer distance is cumbersome. However, pointing with a mouse is precise and common-place. We propose using mid-air gestures to support input with mouse and keyboard on large displays. In particular, we designed a gesture set for manipulating regular windows.
