The Metaverse, an evolving concept that fuses physical reality with digital virtuality, offers a dynamic environment for exploration. This paper reports the panel discussion on the Metaverse and its potential implications for individuals and research. This discussion was held at the Digitization of the Individual (DOTI) workshop at the Internationa...

Text entry in Augmented and Virtual Reality applications remains a major challenge for a comprehensive and ubiquitous usability of this technology. Therefore, researchers have proposed several solutions for text entry in Augmented Reality. Hands-free gaze typing is a popular approach to ensure mobility and both fast and accurate typing. However, pr...

Traditionally, NeuroIS studies are performed in highly controlled laboratory environments. However, due the proliferation of mobile sensor equipment, it is nowadays also possible to also run experiments in less controlled environments, e.g., in home settings. Running NeuroIS experiments in these settings allows researchers to pursue novel research...

The advent of the Internet of Things (IoT) forces incumbent firms to reshape their organizational structures toward platform ecosystems. However, prior research lacks concrete insights about how incumbent firms can foster value co-creation to become ecosystem orchestrators. In particular, it only sheds little light on the complex challenges incumbe...

The building sector, and especially residential households and office buildings, account for a large share of global emissions. Meanwhile, energy literacy is extremely low amongst residents and citizens in general, leading to insufficient evaluations of energy efficiency measures and technology equipment for buildings. To address this issue, we dev...

Data monetization has proven to be one of the most viable profit pools across industries. As vehicles become increasingly connected, leveraging their collected data through novel business models is the most promising value driver for automotive enterprises. Despite the increasing practical relevance, theoretical and conceptual insights on connected...

Recent demonstrations of AR showcase engaging spatial features while avoiding text input. However, this is not due to descending relevance but rather because no satisfactory solution to text input in a comprehensive AR system is available yet. Any novel technological device requires rethinking the way we interact with it, including text input. With...

Platforms for peer-to-peer accommodation sharing are flourishing and changing the overall tourism industry. Ever since, providers on those platforms use photos to advertise their accommodation. Due to the advancement of virtual reality technology, nowadays, it is technologically feasible to provide 360-degree photos with reasonable effort. Yet, pop...

At this stage, empirical studies in the NeuroIS field have been conducted primarily in laboratory environments. However, the continuing advances in sensor technologies and software interfaces have created novel opportunities to explore the potential of NeuroIS not only in highly controlled lab environments but also in the wild. In this exploratory...

Mission statements are written declarations that summarize and communicate an organization's core values and strategies and present managerial tools that can be used to motivate employees by creating a common self-understanding of an organization. With politics aiming to become ever more inclusive and participative ranging from the local to the glo...

Information systems (IS) are nowadays at the core of many personal and institutional activities and influence daily life more than ever before. To understand, evaluate and envision the forms of how we interact with IS, interdisciplinary and multifaceted research efforts are required. At the Information and Market Engineering chair at the Karlsruhe...

Several developments in recent years have highlighted the urgent need for an increase in sustainable behavior. In an effort to systematically achieve global human well-being and create a more sustainable and equal world by 2030, the United Nations passed the Sustainable Development Goals in 2015. In this chapter, we discuss several different approa...

Mission statements are documents that summarize an organization's core values and strategies and are used to motivate employees by creating a common understanding among them. However, studies have shown that employees often seek more involvement in the development of mission statements in their organizations. Digitization pushes the implementation...

When it comes to construction projects, public debates and protests may arise if architectural plans remain unshared with the citizens they might affect. To involve the public affected by construction projects, offering easily graspable visualization for citizens is key. E-Participation provides opportunities to include technological innovations th...

Virtual reality (VR) enables people to engage in experiences that reach far beyond physical reality. This has inspired humanitarian organizations (among others the United Nations) to use VR technology to raise the awareness of humanitarian crises by virtually transporting people to the regions affected. As a consequence, these immersive experiences...

With high-immersive virtual reality (VR) systems approaching mass markets, companies are seeking to better understand how consumers behave when shopping in VR. A key feature of high-immersive VR environments is that they can create a strong illusion of reality to the senses, which could substantially change consumer choice behavior compared to onli...

Blockchain technology is an innovation of the 21st century that is supposed to act as a trust-building factor and may provide the foundation for trust-free systems as well as market exchanges. We investigate how the trustrelated properties of blockchain technology influence trust relationships of participants in the platform economy. Building on th...

Recent disputes over public construction projects show that the public is interested in urban development. When construction projects lack communication about its impact, agenda and costs, citizens might feel overheard and pro-tests may arise. As a consequence, trust in public administration and politics could suffer serious damage. Following the i...

Ethicswashing is a neologism that has, due to the release of ethical guidelines for trustworthy Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the European Union, recently gained in popularity. Although the term is closely related to the concept of greenwashing, it is currently primarily used to describe companies’undertakings to keep ethical debates running in o...

Companies have the opportunity to better engage potential customers by presenting products to them in a highly immersive virtual reality (VR) shopping environment. However, a minimal amount is known about why and whether customers will adopt such fully immersive shopping environments. We therefore develop and experimentally validate a theoretical m...

Technological advances in the field of smart consumer devices such as phones, wristbands, and watches facilitate real time acquisition of physiological data, for instance, for purposes of entertainment or to improve health or performance. With recent technology, even information about another person's physiological state can be acquired unobtrusive...

Trust is a crucial factor in a variety of computer-facilitated interactions, for example in the context of electronic commerce or negotiation. Since most transactions on the Internet are carried out by interacting with a User Interface (UI), a variety of UI artifacts were developed particularly for the purpose of building trust between users. In or...
