Swarm UIs: Impact of Assistance on Users' Sense of Agency

Key Points

• The research aims to understand how different types of assistance influence users' sense of agency when interacting with swarm user interfaces.
• Conducted experiments with various levels of user assistance
• Analyzed user responses to measure sense of agency
• Utilized human-computer interaction frameworks
• Increased assistance led to a lower sense of agency in users
• Users reported enhanced decision-making abilities with moderate assistance
• Findings highlight the balance needed between assistance and independence
