Digitally presenting physiological signals as biofeedback to users raises awareness of both body and mind. This paper describes the effectiveness of conveying a physiological signal often overlooked for communication: breathing. We present…
Breath analysis has emerged as a critical tool in health monitoring, offering insights into respiratory function, disease detection, and continuous health assessment. While traditional contact-based methods are reliable, they often pose…
As eye-tracking becomes increasingly common in modern mobile devices, the potential for hands-free, gaze-based interaction grows, but current gesture sets are largely expert-designed and often misaligned with how users naturally move their…
Hugs are complex affective interactions that often include gestures like squeezes. We present six new guidelines for designing interactive hugging robots, which we validate through two studies with our custom robot. To achieve autonomy, we…
Proliferation of cheap and accessible cameras makes it possible to measure a subject's breath rate from video footage alone. Recent works on this topic have proposed a variety of approaches for accurately measuring human breath rate,…
Embodiment of users within robotic systems has been explored in human-robot interaction, most often in telepresence and teleoperation. In these applications, synchronized visuomotor feedback can evoke a sense of body ownership and agency,…
Gestures are a natural form of communication between humans and can also be leveraged for human-robot interaction. This work presents a gesture-based user interface for object selection using pointing and click gestures. An experiment with…
The patterns of inhalation and exhalation contain important physiological signals that can be used to anticipate human behavior, health trends, and vital parameters. Human activity recognition (HAR) is fundamentally connected to these vital…
Self-touch gestures (e.g., nuanced facial touches and subtle finger scratches) provide rich insights into human behaviors, from hygiene practices to health monitoring. However, existing approaches fall short in detecting such micro gestures…
We present advancements in the design and development of in-vehicle infotainment systems that utilize gesture input and ultrasonic mid-air haptic feedback. Such systems employ state-of-the-art hand tracking technology and novel haptic…
An experimental testbed has been constructed to assess the capabilities of Light-Wave Sensing, a promising new vitals monitoring approach. A Light-Wave Sensing apparatus utilizes infrared radiation to contactlessly monitor the subtle…
Breathing rate is a vital health metric that is an invaluable indicator of the overall health of a person. In recent years, the non-contact measurement of health signals such as breathing rate has been a huge area of development, with a…
Mindfulness training is widely recognized for its benefits in reducing depression, anxiety, and loneliness. With the rise of smartphone-based mindfulness apps, digital meditation has become more accessible, but sustaining long-term user…
This paper presents an empirical evaluation of mid-air gestures in a web setting. Fifty-six (56) subjects, all of them HCI students, were divided into 16 groups and involved as designers. Each group worked separately with the same…
Respiration is a critical vital sign for infants, and continuous respiratory monitoring is particularly important for newborns. However, neonates are sensitive and contact-based sensors present challenges in comfort, hygiene, and skin…
Hand-over-face gestures can provide important implicit interactions during conversations, such as frustration or excitement. However, in situations where interlocutors are not visible, such as phone calls or textual communication, the…
This paper introduces a vibrotactile belt for interpersonal synchronization of breath. It can synchronize the breathing tempo of two people by transferring breathing rhythm of one user to vibration signals of another belt, where the depth…
Biomechanical models allow for diverse simulations of user movements in interaction. Their performance depends critically on the careful design of reward functions, yet the interplay between reward components and emergent behaviours remains…
This paper presents an unobtrusive solution that can automatically identify deep breath when a person is walking past the global depth camera. Existing non-contact breath assessments achieve satisfactory results under restricted conditions…
In the last few decades, several wearable devices have been designed to monitor respiration rate in an effort to capture pulmonary signals with higher accuracy and reduce patients' discomfort during use. In this article, we present the…
