Lower computer system input-to-output latency substantially reduces many task completion times. In fact, literature shows that reduction in targeting task completion time from decreased latency often exceeds the decrease in latency alone. However, for aiming in first person shooter (FPS) games, some prior work has demonstrated diminishing returns below 40 ms of local input-to-output computer system latency. In this paper, we review this prior art and provide an additional case study with data demonstrating the importance of local system latency improvement, even at latency values below 20 ms. Though other factors may determine victory in a particular esports challenge, ensuring balanced local computer latency among competitors is essential to fair competition.

Computing devices such as laptops, tablets and mobile phones have become part of our daily lives. End users increasingly know more and more information about these devices. Further, more technically savvy end users know how such devices are being bui lt and know how to choose one over the others. However, we cannot say the same about the Internet of Things (IoT) products. Due to its infancy nature of the marketplace, end users have very little idea about IoT products. To address this issue, we developed a method, a crowdsourced peer learning activity, supported by an online platform (OLYMPUS) to enable a group of learners to learn IoT products space better. We conducted two different user studies to validate that our tool enables better IoT education. Our method guide learners to think more deeply about IoT products and their design decisions. The learning platform we developed is open source and available for the community.
Differential privacy is a promising framework for addressing the privacy concerns in sharing sensitive datasets for others to analyze. However differential privacy is a highly technical area and current deployments often require experts to write code , tune parameters, and optimize the trade-off between the privacy and accuracy of statistical releases. For differential privacy to achieve its potential for wide impact, it is important to design usable systems that enable differential privacy to be used by ordinary data owners and analysts. PSI is a tool that was designed for this purpose, allowing researchers to release useful differentially private statistical information about their datasets without being experts in computer science, statistics, or privacy. We conducted a thorough usability study of PSI to test whether it accomplishes its goal of usability by non-experts. The usability test illuminated which features of PSI are most user-friendly and prompted us to improve aspects of the tool that caused confusion. The test also highlighted some general principles and lessons for designing usable systems for differential privacy, which we discuss in depth.
Crowdsourcing information constitutes an important aspect of human-in-the-loop learning for researchers across multiple disciplines such as AI, HCI, and social science. While using crowdsourced data for subjective tasks is not new, eliciting useful i nsights from such data remains challenging due to a variety of factors such as difficulty of the task, personal prejudices of the human evaluators, lack of question clarity, etc. In this paper, we consider one such subjective evaluation task, namely that of estimating experienced emotions of distressed individuals who are conversing with a human listener in an online coaching platform. We explore strategies to aggregate the evaluators choices, and show that a simple voting consensus is as effective as an optimum aggregation method for the task considered. Intrigued by how an objective assessment would compare to the subjective evaluation of evaluators, we also designed a machine learning algorithm to perform the same task. Interestingly, we observed a machine learning algorithm that is not explicitly modeled to characterize evaluators subjectivity is as reliable as the human evaluation in terms of assessing the most dominant experienced emotions.
In virtual reality (VR) games, playability and immersion levels are important because they affect gameplay, enjoyment, and performance. However, they can be adversely affected by VR sickness (VRS) symptoms. VRS can be minimized by manipulating users perception of the virtual environment via the head-mounted display (HMD). One extreme example is the Teleport mitigation technique, which lets users navigate discretely, skipping sections of the virtual space. Other techniques are less extreme but still rely on controlling what and how much users see via the HMD. This research examines the effect on players performance and gameplay of these mitigation techniques in fast-paced VR games. Our focus is on two types of visual reduction techniques. This study aims to identify specifically the trade-offs these techniques have in a first-person shooter game regarding immersion, performance, and VRS. The main contributions in this paper are (1) a deeper understanding of one of the most popular techniques (Teleport) when it comes to gameplay; (2) the replication and validation of a novel VRS mitigation technique based on visual reduction; and (3) a comparison of their effect on players performance and gameplay.
Human cognitive performance is critical to productivity, learning, and accident avoidance. Cognitive performance varies throughout each day and is in part driven by intrinsic, near 24-hour circadian rhythms. Prior research on the impact of sleep and circadian rhythms on cognitive performance has typically been restricted to small-scale laboratory-based studies that do not capture the variability of real-world conditions, such as environmental factors, motivation, and sleep patterns in real-world settings. Given these limitations, leading sleep researchers have called for larger in situ monitoring of sleep and performance. We present the largest study to date on the impact of objectively measured real-world sleep on performance enabled through a reframing of everyday interactions with a web search engine as a series of performance tasks. Our analysis includes 3 million nights of sleep and 75 million interaction tasks. We measure cognitive performance through the speed of keystroke and click interactions on a web search engine and correlate them to wearable device-defined sleep measures over time. We demonstrate that real-world performance varies throughout the day and is influenced by both circadian rhythms, chronotype (morning/evening preference), and prior sleep duration and timing. We develop a statistical model that operationalizes a large body of work on sleep and performance and demonstrates that our estimates of circadian rhythms, homeostatic sleep drive, and sleep inertia align with expectations from laboratory-based sleep studies. Further, we quantify the impact of insufficient sleep on real-world performance and show that two consecutive nights with less than six hours of sleep are associated with decreases in performance which last for a period of six days. This work demonstrates the feasibility of using online interactions for large-scale physiological sensing.
