ABSTRACT
On-skin displays have emerged as a seamless form factor for visualizing information. However, the non-traditional form factor of these on-skin displays and how they present notifications on the skin may raise concerns for public wear. These perceptions will impact whether a device is eventually adopted or rejected by society. Therefore, researchers must consider the societal facets of device design. In this paper, we study social perceptions towards interacting with a color-changing on-skin display. We examined third-person perspectives through a 254-person online survey. The study was conducted in the United States and Taiwan to distill cross-cultural attitudes. This structured study sheds light on designing on-skin displays reflective of cultural considerations.

An alternative is to design ...
