Item type:Publication, Navigating beyond places: The significance of navigation tools in everyday media use(2025-08-01); This study examines navigation tools as key mediators of spatial perception, mobility, and digital infrastructures, contributing to scholarship on mediatization, geomedia, and surveillance studies. Navigation apps like Google Maps do not merely facilitate wayfinding; they actively shape spatial experiences, decision-making, and social interactions. Using a mixed-methods approach, we combined real-time activity tracking via the “MapRecorder” tool with qualitative interviews to analyze how users engage with Google Maps. Our findings reveal that navigation tools function as interfaces of spatial production, social connection, and data extraction, embedding themselves in everyday media repertoires. We identify four key usage patterns—search, place, directions, and map view manipulation—demonstrating that navigation is increasingly entangled with broader digital habits. In addition, the data suggested a paradoxical relationship between user convenience and concerns over dataveillance, contributing to debates on privacy resignation and the platformization of spatial control. By foregrounding these tensions, our study extends discussions on the deep mediatization of space, the role of geomedia in shaping mobility, and the sociotechnical power of digital navigation infrastructures.Type:journal articleJournal:New Media & Society - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Traffic jam by GPS: A systematic analysis of the negative social externalities of large-scale navigation technologies(Public Library of Science, 2024-08-06); ; ; Xiangjie KongThe increased usage of navigation technologies has caused conflicts in local traffic management, resulting in congested residential areas among other challenges for residents. This paper uses content analysis to investigate such negative social externalities within local communities and neighbourhoods. Through a corpus of 90 news articles about traffic incidents caused by navigation technologies, we identified negative traffic and safety-related externalities, including congestion, damage, pollution, and accidents. We also report on countermeasures by local communities and governments, including street closures, speed limit reduction, and turn bans. Based on our results, we discuss the implications for designing mobile navigation technologies that reduce negative social externalities.Type:journal articleJournal:PLOS ONEVolume:19Issue:8Scopus© Citations 5 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Dark Patterns: manipulative Designstrategien in digitalen Gesundheitsanwendungen(2024-02-08); ; Malaka, RainerAmong other things, digital health applications offer users support in better understanding their physical and mental health through digital data, thereby promoting positive health behavior. In addition to state-approved digital health applications (DiGA) and digital care applications (DiPA), there is a wide array of other commercial health applications available to users. Particularly in non-approved applications, developers often deploy manipulative design strategies (dark patterns), intentionally or unintentionally, to deceive users into making specific decisions. This article provides an overview of current and widespread dark patterns and assesses the risks posed by them in digital health applications. In the future, “light” should be shed on dark patterns by creating more transparency for users, providing regulators with a more accurate understanding of dark patterns, and paying more attention to the implementation of guidelines. Thus, users may gain autonomy using healthcare applications and their data can be better protected.Type:journal articleJournal:Bundesgesundheitsblatt (2024)Scopus© Citations 2 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Describing Explored Places through OpenStreetMap Data(Association for Computing Machinery, 2025); ; ; Mobile navigation applications are good at providing efficient navigation instructions. However, they currently lack the capability to facilitate free exploration. Therefore, users are limited to encountering only places close to the shortest paths, neglecting places that could diversify navigation and foster spatial learning. To better understand what characteristics places have that users like to explore we collected a dataset with a mobile application that encourages free exploration using gamification (n = 39, t = 455 days, 106.50 𝑘𝑚2). Using OpenStreetMap data, we found highly frequented freely explored places comprising office, educational, retail, touristic and commercial places. When comparing the characteristics of the freely explored places to those along the shortest path, those categories were different. Based on our findings, we propose that implementing more diverse routing algorithms can enhance navigation diversity, improve spatial learning, and optimise the utilisation of urban spaces for travel.Type:conference paperScopus© Citations 2 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Designing Grocery Shopping Experiences for Virtual RealityOnline grocery shopping offers time-saving efficiency and convenience, yet many people still prefer physical shopping for trust in food freshness and other sensory experiences. While online stores are evolving to offer new user experiences, such as supporting eco-friendly or ethical shopping, the desktop and mobile platforms limit the engagement of such experiences. Virtual Reality (VR) presents an opportunity to create immersive and rich grocery shopping experiences, closing the gap between the convenience of online shopping and the sensory experience of physical shopping. Yet, designing VR grocery stores remains relatively unexplored. In this paper, we investigate the long-term potential of VR grocery stores, focusing on meeting individual needs. Through a co-design workshop, participants brainstormed the design of product displays, in-shop navigation, shopping carts, social shopping, among others. Based on our findings, we provide design recommendations for future VR grocery shopping to develop meaningful alternatives to existing shopping experiences for groceries.Type:conference paperScopus© Citations 8
