Fitness can help to strengthen muscles, increase resistance to diseases, and improve body shape. Nowadays, a great number of people choose to exercise at home/office rather than at the gym due to lack of time. However, it is difficult for…
Estimation of the location of sound sources is usually done using microphone arrays. Such settings provide an environment where we know the difference between the received signals among different microphones in the terms of phase or…
Joint sound event localization and detection (SELD) is an integral part of developing context awareness into communication interfaces of mobile robots, smartphones, and home assistants. For example, an automatic audio focus for video…
Wearables like smartwatches or wrist bands equipped with pervasive sensors enable us to monitor our physiological signals. In this study, we address the question whether they can help us to recognize our emotions in our everyday life for…
Augmented listening devices such as hearing aids often perform poorly in noisy and reverberant environments with many competing sound sources. Large distributed microphone arrays can improve performance, but data from remote microphones…
In this paper, we investigate a potential security vulnerability associated with wrist wearable devices. Hardware components on common wearable devices include an accelerometer and gyroscope, among other sensors. We demonstrate that an…
With the rise of wearables, haptic interfaces are increasingly favored to communicate information in an ambient manner. Despite this expectation, existing guidelines are developed in studies where the participant's focus is entirely on the…
The increasing popularity of spatial audio in applications such as teleconferencing, entertainment, and virtual reality has led to the recent developments of binaural reproduction methods. However, only a few of these methods are…
This paper investigates the performance of Binaural Signal Matching (BSM) methods for near-field sound reproduction using a wearable glasses-mounted microphone array. BSM is a flexible, signal-independent approach for binaural rendering…
Haptic feedback is integral to the improved experience of prosthetic users and the reduction in prosthesis rejection. Prior studies have explored various methods to encode tactile information and deliver vibration feedback. However, a…
Speech enhancement performance degrades significantly in noisy environments, limiting the deployment of speech-controlled technologies in industrial settings, such as manufacturing plants. Existing speech enhancement solutions primarly rely…
In cluttered environments where visual sensors encounter heavy occlusion, such as in agricultural settings, tactile signals can provide crucial spatial information for the robot to locate rigid objects and maneuver around them. We introduce…
Many individuals struggle to understand conversation partners in noisy settings, particularly amid background speakers or due to hearing impairments. Emerging wearables like smartglasses offer a transformative opportunity to enhance speech…
We introduce Purrfect Pitch, a system consisting of a wearable haptic device and a custom-designed learning interface for musical ear training. We focus on the ability to identify musical intervals (sequences of two musical notes), which is…
Conventional approaches to sound source localization require at least two microphones. It is known, however, that people with unilateral hearing loss can also localize sounds. Monaural localization is possible thanks to the scattering by…
Binaural reproduction methods aim to recreate an acoustic scene for a listener over headphones, offering immersive experiences in applications such as Virtual Reality (VR) and teleconferencing. Among the existing approaches, the Binaural…
Textile sensors transform our everyday clothing into a means to track movement and bio-signals in a completely unobtrusive way. One major hindrance to the adoption of "smart" clothing is the difficulty encountered with connections and space…
Visually impaired people are neglected from many modern communication and interaction procedures. Assistive technologies such as text-to-speech and braille displays are the most commonly used means of connecting such visually impaired…
Sound Source Localization (SSL) are used to estimate the position of sound sources. Various methods have been used for detecting sound and its localization. This paper presents a system for stationary sound source localization by cubical…
Our aim is to provide effective interaction with virtual objects, despite the lack of co-location of virtual and real-world contacts, while taking advantage of relatively large skin area and ease of mounting on the forearm. We performed two…
