Habito News

This demonstration paper accompanies a paper accepted at MobileHCI'15 [1]. With the aim of enhancing news reading experience on smartphones, we developed and deployed Habito News, a dedicated Android news app capable of unobtrusive logging of news interactions and recognising patterns of user's news reading behaviour. Interaction traces collected with Habito News can first be used to detect the user's news reader type and then to adapt the news reading app displays and behavior in response to individual patterns of user's interaction. In this demo, we present the app's logging capabilities, the automatic detection of news reader types and the three different user interface designs for different news reader types.
