ABSTRACT
Interaction designers require simple methods of creating ad-hoc sensors for prototyping interactive objects. Methods of creating custom sensing solutions commonly include various capacitive and resistive techniques. Near-infrared (IR) sensing solutions can be used as an alternative to these established methods. There are many situations in which IR sensors may be a preferred method of input, such as grasp detection and touch interactions on the skin. In this paper we outline the general approach for designing IR sensors and discuss the design and applications of two custom sensors.
