Around-device interaction techniques aim at extending the input space using various sensing modalities on mobile and wearable devices. In this paper, we present our work towards extending the input area of mobile devices using front-facing…
Traditional relative pointing devices such as mice and trackpads are unsuitable for pointing at distant displays, because they encumber the users by requiring either a flat surface to operate on or being held by two hands. Past research has…
We propose a method for guiding a photographer to rotate her/his smartphone camera to obtain an image that overlaps with another image of the same scene. The other image is taken by another photographer from a different viewpoint. Our…
The positioning of users using their smartphones represents interesting service for various areas. Position of users can represent valuable information for various service providers. In industry 4.0 smart devices such as smartphone or…
Communication is the most useful tool to impart knowledge, understand ideas, clarify thoughts and expressions, organize plan and manage every single day-to-day activity. Although there are different modes of communication, physical barrier…
Human communication has been profoundly changed by social media, which allows users to engage in previously unheard-of ways, such as text-based conversations, video chats, and live streaming. The digital landscape has started to change in…
Smartphone is a powerful internet connected computer packed with internal sensors that measure sound, light, acceleration and magnetic field strength. Physics teachers can use them as measurement devices to demonstrate science concepts and…
In this paper, we introduce GesPlayer, a gesture-based empowered video player that explores how users can experience their hands as an interface through gestures. We provide three semantic gestures based on the camera of a computer or other…
Interaction with the physical environment and different users is essential to foster a collaborative experience. For this, we propose an interaction based on a central point represented by an Augmented Reality marker in which several users…
Nowadays, mobile devices have become the natural substitute for the digital camera, as they capture everyday situations easily and quickly, encouraging users to express themselves through images and videos. These videos can be shared across…
Advertisers are increasingly turning to fingerprinting techniques to track users across the web. As web browsing activity shifts to mobile platforms, traditional browser fingerprinting techniques become less effective; however, device…
Shopping is difficult for people with motor impairments. This includes online shopping. Proprietary software can emulate mouse and keyboard via head tracking. However, such a solution is not common for smartphones. Unlike desktop and laptop…
The wide spread of mobiles as handheld devices leads to various innovative applications that makes use of their ever increasing presence in our daily life. One such application is location tracking and monitoring. This paper proposes a…
