The environmental change and its effects, caused by human influences and natural ecological processes over the last decade, prove that it is now more prudent than ever to transition to more sustainable models of energy consumption…
Background: People with severe speech and motor impairment (SSMI) often uses a technique called eye pointing to communicate with outside world. One of their parents, caretakers or teachers hold a printed board in front of them and by…
Wireless networks are a common place nowadays and almost all of the modern devices support wireless communication in some form. These networks differ from more traditional computing systems due to the ad-hoc and spontaneous nature of…
Fingerprinting is a popular indoor localization technique since it can utilize existing infrastructures (e.g., access points). However, its site survey process is a labor-intensive and time-consuming task, which limits the application of…
Tactile sensing is critical to fine-grained, contact-rich manipulation tasks, such as insertion and assembly. Prior research has shown the possibility of learning tactile-guided policy from teleoperated demonstration data. However, to…
Touch is one of the most intuitive ways for humans to interact with the world, and as we advance toward a ubiquitous computing environment where technology seamlessly integrates into daily life, natural interaction methods are essential.…
This paper presents the design flow of an IoT human machine touchless interface. The device uses embedded computing in conjunction with the Leap Motion Controller to provide an accurate and intuitive touchless interface. Its main function…
Different factors such as thermal comfort, humidity, air quality, and noise have significant combined effects on the acceptability and quality of the activities performed by the building occupants who spend most of their times indoors.…
We are living in the era of the fourth industrial revolution, which also treated as 4IR or Industry 4.0. Generally, 4IR considered as the mixture of robotics, artificial intelligence (AI), quantum computing, the Internet of Things (IoT) and…
Haptic devices have been employed to immerse users in VR environments. In particular, hand and finger haptic devices have been deeply developed. However, this type of device occlude the hand detection by some tracking systems, or in other…
This paper proposes an interactive system for mobile devices controlled by hand gestures aimed at helping people with visual impairments. This system allows the user to interact with the device by making simple static and dynamic hand…
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…
This paper introduces a new prototype system for controlling a PC by head movements and also with voice commands. Our system is a multimodal interface concerned with controlling the computer. The selected modes of interaction are speech and…
The development of ubiquitous computing and sensing devices has brought about novel interaction scenarios such as mixed reality and IoT (e.g., smart home), which pose new demands for the next generation of natural user interfaces (NUI).…
With the evolution of mobile devices, and smart-phones in particular, comes the ability to create new experiences that enhance the way we see, interact, and manipulate objects, within the world that surrounds us. It is now possible to blend…
Home automation for many years had faced challenges that limit its spreading around the world. These challenges caused by the high cost of Own such a home, inflexibility system (cannot be monitored outside the home) and issues to achieve…
We present an intelligent interactive nightstand mounted on a mobile robot, to aid the elderly in their homes using physical, tactile and visual percepts. We show the integration of three different sensing modalities for controlling the…
Sensing surface vibrations promise unobtrusive interaction for smart home systems by enabling gesture recognition on existing everyday surfaces without disturbing living-space design. Existing approaches typically address only parts of the…
A wide variety of simple sensors, e.g. for temperature, light, or humidity, is finding its way into smart homes. There are special features to consider with regard to the data collected by these sensors: a) the nature of the measured data…
Using physical interactive devices like mouse and keyboards hinders naturalistic human-machine interaction and increases the probability of surface contact during a pandemic. Existing gesture-recognition systems do not possess user…
