ABSTRACT
We introduce a technique to detect simple gestures of "surfing" (moving a hand horizontally) on a standard keyboard by analyzing recorded sounds in real-time with a microphone attached close to the keyboard. This technique allows the user to maintain a focus on the screen while surfing on the keyboard. Since this technique uses a standard keyboard without any modification, the user can take full advantage of the input functionality and tactile quality of his favorite keyboard supplemented with our interface.

Enabling tangible interaction on capacitive touch panels
UIST '10: Adjunct proceedings of the 23nd annual ACM symposium on User interface software and technologyWe propose two approaches to sense tangible objects on capacitive touch screens, which are used in off-the-shelf multi-touch devices such as Apple iPad, iPhone, and 3M's multi-touch displays. We seek for the approaches that do not require modifications ...
Graspables revisited: multi-touch vs. tangible input for tabletop displays in acquisition and manipulation tasks
CHI '10: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsWe present an experimental comparison of multi-touch and tangible user interfaces for basic interface actions. Twelve participants completed manipulation and acquisition tasks on an interactive surface in each of three conditions: tangible user ...
GestAKey: Touch Interaction on Individual Keycaps
CHI '18: Proceedings of the 2018 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsConventionally, keys on a physical keyboard have only two states: "released'' and "pressed''. As such, various techniques, such as hotkeys, are designed to enhance the keyboard expressiveness. Realizing that user inevitably perform touch actions during ...
