\"\"LONDON: Smartphones are altering our gaits and the speed<\/a> at which we walk, say scientists who found that people<\/a> move at slow, cautious pace while texting.
\n
Researchers at Anglia Ruskin University in the
UK<\/a> found that when using a phone, irrespective of how it is being used, people look less frequently and for less time at the obstacle on the ground.
\n
\nThe relative amount of time spent looking at the obstacle reduced by up to 61 per cent, researchers said.
\n
The team noted that phone users adopted a cautious and exaggerated stepping strategy, which involved lifting their lead foot higher and slower over the obstacle to reduce the
risk<\/a> of tripping.
\n
\nResearchers found that writing a text results in the greatest adoptions in visual search behaviour and walking style, or gait, compared to reading texts or talking on a phone.
\n
\nWhen writing a text the lead foot is 18 per cent higher whilst clearing the obstacle compared to not using a phone, and is 40 per cent slower. Similar, but less extreme, results are seen when reading texts and talking on the phone, researchers said.
\n
\nWriting a text may increase visual attention demands, as people look at the keypad to type as well as look at the screen to read what is being written, to ensure it is correct, they said.
\n
\n\"Our findings indicate that phone users adopt a cautious approach when faced with fixed objects on the ground. Accidents are likely to be the result of objects suddenly appearing that phone users were not aware of, for example other pedestrians or vehicles,\" said Matthew Timmis, senior lecturer at Anglia Ruskin University.
\n
\n\"We found that using a phone means we look less frequently, and for less time, at the ground, but we adapt our visual search behaviour and our style of walking so we're able to negotiate static obstacles in a safe manner,\" Timmis added.
\n
\nResearchers investigated how mobile phone use affects where people look (visual search behaviour) and how they negotiate a floor-based obstacle placed along their walking path.
\n
\n
Participants wore a mobile eye tracker and motion
analysis<\/a> sensors and walked towards and then stepped over a floor-based object, which was a similar height to a roadside kerb, whilst writing a text, reading a text, talking on the phone, as well as without using a phone.

智能手机改变我们走路的方式!这是如何

在使用手机时,不管它是如何被使用的,人们看起来不那么频繁和更少的时间在地面上的障碍。

伦敦:智能手机改变我们的步态和速度我们走,说科学家们发现移动缓慢,谨慎的步伐而发短信。

研究人员。安格利亚鲁斯金大学英国发现,在使用手机时,不管它是如何被使用的,人们看起来不那么频繁和更少的时间在地面上的障碍。

相对时间的障碍减少了61%,研究人员说。

研究小组指出,手机用户采取了谨慎和夸张的策略,其中包括解除他们的引脚越来越慢减少了障碍风险脱扣。

研究人员发现,写作文本视觉搜索最大的收养行为的结果和行走方式,或步态,而阅读文本或讲电话。

编写文本时的引脚高出18%,同时清除障碍而不使用手机,并慢40%。相似,但不那么极端,结果看到读课本,讲电话时,研究人员说。

写一篇文本可能会增加视觉注意力的要求,人们看键盘类型以及看屏幕阅读所写,以确保它是正确的,他们说。

“我们的发现表明,手机用户采取一种谨慎的做法当面对固定在地面上的对象。事故很可能是由于物体突然出现,手机用户没有意识到,例如其他行人或车辆,“后马修•蒂米斯说,在英格兰Ruskin大学高级讲师。

“我们发现,使用手机意味着我们看起来不那么频繁,更少的时间,在地面上,但我们适应视觉搜索行为和我们的风格走所以我们能够在谈判静态障碍以安全的方式,“Timmis补充道。

研究人员调查了使用手机如何影响人们看(视觉搜索行为)以及他们如何协商一个大厅障碍放置在他们的行走路径。


参与者穿着一件移动眼动跟踪和运动分析传感器和走向,然后跨过一个大厅对象,这是一个类似的高度路边的路边石,同时写文本,阅读文本,讲电话,以及不使用电话。

该研究发表在《公共科学图书馆•综合》杂志上。
