The past few years have witnessed a tremendous rise in human-smartphone interactions. Users download and interact with millions of applications ranging from productivity, entertainment to health, including physical and mental. Usually, a server at the edge or cloud is a computing device for many applications. However, the processing power of smartphones is at par with desktop PCs thanks to the quad-core and hexa-core processors and faster clock speeds. In this tutorial, we first discuss the evolution of smartphone computing power over the past decade. We then present the experimental design and on-device computing challenges through two case studies namely - smartphone-based indoor localization based on ambient magnetic fields and a mental health tracking application. We follow the discussion with some user experience study findings of both apps. The presentation will conclude with open research challenges in such studies.

Call for Tutorials
MobileHCI tutorials are in-depth presentations of fundamental or state-of-the-art topics
presented by researchers or practitioners within the field of MobileHCI, which is about
effective interaction with and through mobile devices, applications, and services. The
tutorials empower attendees to learn new skills and offer possibilities to meet new people and
discuss topics of shared interest. The scope for tutorials is broad and includes topics, such as
new technologies, research approaches and methodologies, design practices, user/consumer
insights, investigations into new services/applications/interfaces, statistics, and much more.
Virtual or Augmented Reality, wearable computing, and generally applications with
technology on the go in mind are highly recommended.
A tutorial should focus on its topic in detail and include references to the "must-read" papers
or materials within its domain. A participatory approach in which the tutorial participants
actively engage in exercises is welcomed, though not required. The expected audience will
vary in terms of prior knowledge, but will largely consist of researchers, PhD students,
practitioners, and educators. Tutorial proposal submissions by industrials are welcomed as
well.
The overall conference theme in 2023 is "Beyond morality: Ethics and action in MobileHCI",
so we invite tutorials to discuss ethical aspects in their work, as part of their problem
definitions, system design, experiment design, instrument and metric adoption and
conclusions.
MobileHCI 2023 will be held in person (with hybrid participation) during September 26-29,
2023 in Athens, Greece.
Tutorials with physical presence of the instructors are highly recommended.
In your proposal please include:
Curated, i.e. the tutorial chairs will review the submissions and decide on acceptance
Tutorials are not submitted anonymously, i.e. instructors do not remove their names and affiliations from their submission materials.
Accepted tutorial proposals will be included in the Conference Adjunct Proceedings. ACM will send you a copyright form, which you have to complete. Once completed, ACM will provide you the copyright information to be put into your paper. You can then submit the camera-ready version (including the copyright notice) through the submission system.
