Kubit: A responsive and ergonomic holographic user interface for a proxemic workspace

Abstract

This paper imagines how a holographic user interface would respond to the changing workspace of a travelling professional. Kubit is a conceptual holographic user interface grounded in three areas of study. Proxemics defines the difference zones of human interaction, ergonomics helps reduce the risk of developing a musculoskeletal disorder, and responsive design is a method for creating flexible content. By combining these we develop guidelines for the creation of a responsive holographic user interface. To situate Kubit in a real world scenario we develop a persona and user story. The next phase of our research will be to develop a functioning prototype for future testing.
