Exploring evaluation methods for ambient information systems

In this paper, we begin by laying out our motivation for exploring methods of evaluating Ambient Information Systems, with a strong push toward in-situ studies. Next, we describe a simple study which was conducted to give us further insight into this research domain. We conclude by discussing the insights gained from our study, and possible ways to improve our evaluation results in future iterations. Keywords Ambient Information Systems, Peripheral Displays, Evaluation Methods, Ambient Orb ACM Classification Keywords H5.m. Information interfaces and presentation (e.g., HCI): Miscellaneous.
