Abstract

A keyboard made entirely of light projected onto desktops, airplane tray tables, even kitchen counters functions, feels, and sounds like its mechanical counterpart. Next: perhaps on laps and in the air.

Ubiquitous keyboard for small mobile devices: harnessing multipath fading for fine-grained keystroke localization
MobiSys '14: Proceedings of the 12th annual international conference on Mobile systems, applications, and services

A well-known bottleneck of contemporary mobile devices is the inefficient and error-prone touchscreen keyboard. In this paper, we propose UbiK, an alternative portable text-entry method that allows user to make keystrokes on conventional surfaces, e.g., ...
Identifying unintentional touches on handheld touch screen devices
DIS '12: Proceedings of the Designing Interactive Systems Conference

Accidental triggering of unwanted interaction when using a handheld touch screen device is a problem for many users. Accidental touches on capacitive touch screen based mobile telephones were analyzed in a user test. Patterns that are characteristic of ...
Sandwich keyboard: fast ten-finger typing on a mobile device with adaptive touch sensing on the back side
MobileHCI '13: Proceedings of the 15th international conference on Human-computer interaction with mobile devices and services

This Note introduces a keyboard design that affords ten-finger touch typing by utilizing a touch sensor on the back side of a device. Previous work has used physical buttons. Using a touch sensor has the benefit that it retains the form factor and does ...
