Human teams exhibit both implicit and explicit intention sharing. To further development of human-robot collaboration, intention recognition is crucial on both sides. Present approaches rely on a vast sensor suite on and around the robot to…
Mid-air interaction is one of the promising interaction modalities in virtual reality (VR) due to its merits in naturalness and intuitiveness, but the interaction suffers from the lack of haptic feedback as no force or vibrotactile feedback…
Heart rate recovery (HRR) within the initial minute following exercise is a widely utilized metric for assessing cardiac autonomic function in individuals and predicting mortality risk in patients with cardiovascular disease. However,…
This paper presents a wearable assistive device with the shape of a pair of eyeglasses that allows visually impaired people to navigate safely and quickly in unfamiliar environment, as well as perceive the complicated environment to…
Providing haptic feedback via smartphone touch screen may potentially offer blind people a capability to understand graphs. This study investigated the discrimination performance of haptic gratings in different frequencies, in both visually…
As the presence of flying robots continues to grow in both commercial and private sectors, it necessitates an understanding of appropriate methods for nonverbal interaction with humans. While visual cues, such as gestures incorporated into…
This paper presents a new specific system based on RFID technology to help blind people find the other party in their meeting place. This system, uses a device called Smart Director or SD, equipped with Active Tag and RFID Reader. The blind…
As embodied agents become central to VR, telepresence, and digital human applications, their motion must go beyond speech-aligned gestures: agents should turn toward users, respond to their movement, and maintain natural gaze. Current…
Across a plethora of social situations, we touch others in natural and intuitive ways to share thoughts and emotions, such as tapping to get one's attention or caressing to soothe one's anxiety. A deeper understanding of these…
Hand gesture recognition attracts great attention for interaction since it is intuitive and natural to perform. In this paper, we explore a novel method for interaction by using bone-conducted sound generated by finger movements while…
We present HandsInAir, a real-time collaborative wearable system for remote collaboration. The system is developed to support real world scenarios in which a remote mobile helper guides a local mobile worker performing a physical task.…
Wearable AI is often designed as always-available, yet continuous availability can conflict with how people work and socialize, creating discomfort around privacy, disruption, and unclear system boundaries. This paper explores episodic use…
Sound scattering by a finite width beam on a single rigid body rotation vortex flow is detected by a linear array of transducers (both smaller than a flow cell), and analyzed using a revised scattering theory. Both the phase and amplitude…
Navigation and obstacle avoidance are some of the hardest tasks for the visually impaired. Recent research projects have proposed technological solutions to tackle this problem. So far most systems fail to provide multidimensional feedback…
Driving safety has drawn much public attention in recent years due to the fast-growing number of cars. Smoking is one of the threats to driving safety but is often ignored by drivers. Existing works on smoking detection either work in…
We investigate intelligent personal assistants (IPAs) accessibility for deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) people who can use their voice in everyday communication. The inability of IPAs to understand diverse accents including deaf speech…
Distributed tactile sensing remains difficult to scale over large areas: dense sensor arrays increase wiring, cost, and fragility, while many alternatives provide limited coverage or miss fast interaction dynamics. We present Sound of…
Smart home technology has gained widespread adoption, facilitating effortless control of devices through voice commands. However, individuals with dysarthria, a motor speech disorder, face challenges due to the variability of their speech.…
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common arrhythmia and major risk factor for cardiovascular complications. While commercially available devices and supporting Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms exist for reliable detection of AF, the…
Thispaper presents the design and realization of a context-aware wireless health monitoring system for recording the heartbeat (HR) and respiration (RR) rate based on an indirect measurement approach. The system consists of a contact-less…
