Mobile devices such as smartphones, smartwatches or smart glasses have revolutionized how we interact. We are interested in smart glasses because they have the advantage of providing a simultaneous view of both physical and digital worlds.…
The main objective of this study is to investigate whether one can use recordings of human-to-human touch, such as a caress, to improve tactile apparent motion interfaces to make them feel more natural. We report here preliminary recordings…
Touch interfaces are replacing physical buttons, dials, and switches in the new generation of cars, aircraft, and vessels. However, vehicle vibrations and accelerations perturb finger movements and cause erroneous touchscreen inputs by…
Speech is becoming increasingly popular as an interface modality, especially in hands- and eyes-busy situations where the use of a keyboard or mouse is difficult. However, despite the fact that many have hailed speech as being inherently…
Each year, multi-modal interaction continues to grow within both industry and academia. However, researchers have yet to fully explore the impact of multi-modal systems on learning and memory retention. This research investigates how…
Tactile sensors provide information that can be used to learn and execute manipulation tasks. Different tasks, however, might require different levels of sensory information; which in turn likely affect learning rates and performance. This…
Wearable sensor systems with transmitting capabilities are currently employed for the biometric screening of exercise activities and other performance data. Such technology is generally wireless and enables the noninvasive monitoring of…
Interest in and development of touchless gestural interfaces has recently exploded, fueled by the diffusion of both commercial midair gesture platforms and public interactive displays. This paper focuses on an application based on Microsoft…
When humans perform a task with an articulated object, they interact with the object only in a handful of ways, while the space of all possible interactions is nearly endless. This is because humans have prior knowledge about what…
Nowadays, a community starts to find the need for human presence in an alternative way, there has been tremendous research and development in advancing telepresence robots. People tend to feel closer and more comfortable with telepresence…
Human-computer interaction relies on mouse/touchpad, keyboard, and screen, but tools have recently been developed that engage sound, smell, touch, muscular resistance, voice dialogue, balance, and multiple senses at once. How might these…
Voice interfaces are increasingly used in high stakes domains such as mobile banking, smart home security, and hands free healthcare. Meanwhile, modern generative models have made high quality voice forgeries inexpensive and easy to create,…
In this paper, we propose a new interface for virtual reality headset: a touchpad in front of the headset. To demonstrate the feasibility of the front touch interface, we built a prototype device, explored VR UI design space expansion, and…
As wearable devices move toward the face (i.e. smart earbuds, glasses), there is an increasing need to facilitate intuitive interactions with these devices. Current sensing techniques can already detect many mouth-based gestures; however,…
This paper proposed a novel method to replace the traditional mouse controller by using Microsoft Kinect Sensor to realize the functional implementation on human-machine interaction. With human hand gestures and movements, Kinect Sensor…
This work compares three locomotion techniques for an immersive VR environment: two different types of teleporting (with and without animation) and a manual (joystick-based) technique. We tested the effect of these techniques on visual…
Hands are the central means by which humans manipulate their world and being able to reliably extract hand state information from Internet videos of humans engaged in their hands has the potential to pave the way to systems that can learn…
Research in user interaction with mixed reality environments using multiple displays has become increasingly relevant with the prevalence of mobile devices in everyday life and increased commoditization of large display area technologies…
Though recent technological advances have enabled note-taking through different modalities (e.g., keyboard, digital ink, voice), there is still a lack of understanding of the effect of the modality choice on learning. In this paper, we…
Human gait refers to a daily motion that represents not only mobility, but it can also be used to identify the walker by either human observers or computers. Recent studies reveal that gait even conveys information about the walker's…
