Abstract

We are presenting the "Lightglove", a watch-size wireless virtual typing device worn underneath the wrist(s), with light beams sensing fingertips and motion sensors tracking hand movement. A miniature keyboard image is superimposed over the user's application on the host system display, and active keys corresponding to each finger are highlighted and pan around the key-map as the hand moves. Typing and pointing actions are similar to those with conventional keyboard and mouse, as though a physical device were underneath the hand. When the cursor moves out of the keyboard display area the Lightglove acts as a pointer (mouse). Applications include computer/PDA input, gaming control, TV remote control, and musical applications.

B2B-Swipe: Swipe Gesture for Rectangular Smartwatches from a Bezel to a Bezel
CHI '16: Proceedings of the 2016 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

We present B2B-Swipe, a single-finger swipe gesture for a rectangular smartwatch that starts at a bezel and ends at a bezel to enrich input vocabulary. There are 16 possible B2B-Swipes because a rectangular smartwatch has four bezels. Moreover, B2B-...
Touchless gestural interaction with small displays: a case study
CHItaly '13: Proceedings of the Biannual Conference of the Italian Chapter of SIGCHI

Touchless gestural interaction enables users to interact with digital devices using body movements and gestures, and without the burden of a physical contact with technology (e.g., data gloves, body markers, or remote controllers). Most gesture-based ...
TapBoard: making a touch screen keyboard more touchable
CHI '13: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

A physical keyboard key has three states, whereas a touch screen usually has only two. Due to this difference, the state corresponding to the touched state of a physical key is missing in a touch screen keyboard. This touched state is an important ...
