The paper co-authored by Julia Seitz, Ivo Benke, and Alexander Maedche is published in the Proceedings of the ACM on Human-Computer Interaction and willl be presented at CSCW 2024 in Costa Rica between November 9-13 2024.  In their experimental study, the authors analyzed the ambivalent nature of the self-view - a mirrored image of oneself in the video call using self-report and eye-tracking data.  Their findings reveal the impact of having a self-image present versus an absent self-image on the user's cognitive load and control. The authors provide an in-depth analysis of gaze patterns on the self-view and  highlight three distinct user groups that differ in their interaction with the self-view and its impact on the user group. These findings form the basis for pathways of adaptive self-view designs, proposed in the paper’s discussion.  The research was carried out within the DFG-funded KD2School.
