Hand-face interactions play a key role in many everyday tasks, providing insights into user habits, behaviors, intentions, and expressions. However, existing wearable sensing systems often struggle to track these interactions in daily…
Since the launch of Google Glass in 2014, smart glasses have mainly been designed to support micro-interactions. The ultimate goal for them to become an augmented reality interface has not yet been attained due to an encumbrance of…
We present HeadText, a hands-free technique on a smart earpiece for text entry by motion sensing. Users input text utilizing only 7 head gestures for key selection, word selection, word commitment and word cancelling tasks. Head gesture…
The availability of digital devices operated by voice is expanding rapidly. However, the applications of voice interfaces are still restricted. For example, speaking in public places becomes an annoyance to the surrounding people, and…
Non-Display Smart Glasses hold the potential to support everyday activities by combining continuous environmental sensing with voice-only interaction powered by large language models (LLMs). Understanding how conversational successes and…
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…
Tactile sensing is a crucial perception mode for robots and human amputees in need of controlling a prosthetic device. Today robotic and prosthetic systems are still missing the important feature of accurate tactile sensing. This lack is…
Wearable computing is one of the fastest growing technologies today. Smart watches are poised to take over at least of half the wearable devices market in the near future. Smart watch screen size, however, is a limiting factor for growth,…
Secure communication is essential in covert and safety-critical settings where verbal interactions may expose user intent or operational context. Wearable gesture-based communication enables low-effort, nonverbal interaction, but existing…
Teeth gestures become an alternative input modality for different situations and accessibility purposes. In this paper, we present TeethTap, a novel eyes-free and hands-free input technique, which can recognize up to 13 discrete teeth…
This paper presents a novel soft tactile skin (STS) technology operating with sound waves. In this innovative approach, the sound waves generated by a speaker travel in channels embedded in a soft membrane and get modulated due to a…
Due to the universal non-verbal natural communication approach that allows for effective communication between humans, gesture recognition technology has been steadily developing over the previous few decades. Many different strategies have…
With the rapid advancement of smart glasses, voice interaction has been widely adopted due to its naturalness and convenience. However, its practical deployment is often undermined by vulnerability to spoofing attacks, while no public…
Smart glasses enhance interactions with the environment by using head-mounted cameras to observe the user's viewpoint, but lack the visual feedback used for common interactions. We introduce Gazeify then Voiceify, a multimodal approach…
Smart glasses have become more prevalent as they provide an increasing number of applications for users. They store various types of private information or can access it via connections established with other devices. Therefore, there is a…
The adoption of multimodal interactions by Voice Assistants (VAs) is growing rapidly to enhance human-computer interactions. Smartwatches have now incorporated trigger-less methods of invoking VAs, such as Raise To Speak (RTS), where the…
This work described a novel non-contact, wearable, real-time eye blink detection solution based on capacitive sensing technology. A low-cost and low-power consumption capacitive sensing prototype was developed and deployed on a pair of…
In robotic manipulation, tactile sensors are indispensable, especially when dealing with soft objects, objects of varying dimensions, or those out of the robot's direct line of sight. Traditional tactile sensors often grapple with…
Social interactions play a crucial role in shaping human behavior, relationships, and societies. It encompasses various forms of communication, such as verbal conversation, non-verbal gestures, facial expressions, and body language. In this…
Recent growth in popularity of mobile and wearable devices has re-ignited the need for reliable and stealthy communication side-channels to enable applications such as secret/PIN sharing, co-location proofs and user authentication. Existing…
