Advances in ubicomp technology encourage the development of autonomous interactive systems that serve as functional or entertaining desktop companions. However, our understanding of the design space of such interfaces is still limited. Here, we report a tripartite study design that aims at comparing visual, auditory and movement-related characteristics of 11 carefully designed zoomorphic prototypes. First, participants are shown different tasks and are asked to propose suitable prototype actions to carry out each of them -- and vice versa. Then, participants' responses to videos of pre-designed biomimicry patterns of the zoomorphs in a Wizard-of-Oz desktop setup will be captured. Lastly, a subsequent repertory grid interview allows us to capture the users' understanding of the zoomorphs through eliciting users' constructs about them. The findings contribute to the expansion of the design space for autonomous desktop companions. |
