ABSTRACT
Sensory hand augmentation extends the manual function spectrum from controlling analogue objects to digital or smart objects but also might add an interface to any graspable thing and therefore add a digital interface to everyday objects. We propose a finger-attached interface to control grasped objects intended to explore design parameters for always available interfaces. Our device detects finger motions and classifies them according to a set of five gestures. In user studies we found that our gesture classification has a stable performance with respect to different organic-shaped surfaces. Finally, the scalability of our approach towards generic object control will point out its potential.

Tickle: a surface-independent interaction technique for grasp interfaces
TEI '13: Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Tangible, Embedded and Embodied InteractionWe present a wearable interface that consists of motion sensors. As the interface can be worn on the user's fingers (as a ring) or fixed to it (with nail polish), the device controlled by finger gestures can be any generic object, provided they have an ...
What I grasp is what I control: interacting through grasp releases
TEI '12: Proceedings of the Sixth International Conference on Tangible, Embedded and Embodied InteractionThe idea of capitalizing on the hand's degrees of freedom while grasping for gesture-based control motivates my research. The question is: to what extent can users interact with grasped objects through tiny finger gestures that are performed whilst ...
Finger Placement and Hand Grasp during Smartphone Interaction
CHI EA '16: Proceedings of the 2016 CHI Conference Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing SystemsSmartphones are currently the most successful mobile devices. Through their touchscreens, they combine input and output in a single interface. A body of work investigated interaction beyond direct touch. In particular, previous work proposed using the ...
