ABSTRACT
We propose a finger-worn touch device TouchRing to provide subtle and multi-touch input. TouchRing leverages printed electrodes and the capacitive sensing technique to detect touch input. It allows users to perform multi-touch gestures in one hand to increase input modality. TouchRing worn on the index finger allows multi-touch using the thumb and middle finger. Ten multi-touch gestures are designed in this paper. We also propose touch detection and gesture recognition approaches in TouchRing. Gesture Recognition accuracy is evaluated in the user study. Applications for TouchRing are also proposed to make controlling smart glasses more convenient.

NailO: Fingernails as an Input Surface
CHI '15: Proceedings of the 33rd Annual ACM Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsWe present NailO, a nail-mounted gestural input surface. Using capacitive sensing on printed electrodes, the interface can distinguish on-nail finger swipe gestures with high accuracy (>92%). NailO works in real-time: we miniaturized the system to fit ...
MagicPAPER: An Integrated Shadow-Art Hardware Device Enabling Touch Interaction on Paper
DIS '18 Companion: Proceedings of the 2018 ACM Conference Companion Publication on Designing Interactive SystemsTouch interaction is usually implemented on a computer screen or a projected surface. However, tactile quality of paper is attractive and intuitive for people to manipulate in traditional paintings and storytelling. In order to enable touch interaction ...
Air+touch: interweaving touch & in-air gestures
UIST '14: Proceedings of the 27th annual ACM symposium on User interface software and technologyWe present Air+Touch, a new class of interactions that interweave touch events with in-air gestures, offering a unified input modality with expressiveness greater than each input modality alone. We demonstrate how air and touch are highly complementary: ...
