ABSTRACT
We present the form factor design iteration process of the Gesture Watch, a wearable gesture interface that utilizes non-contact hand gestures to control mobile devices while non-visual feedback is provided from its tactile display. Based on limitations discovered from a previous prototype, we identified three design challenges: wearability, mobility, and tactile perception. In addressing these challenges, we focus on three main parts affecting the form factor: the sensor housing, the strap, and the motor housing.

Activity interface for physical activity motivating games
IUI '10: Proceedings of the 15th international conference on Intelligent user interfacesContemporary lifestyle is becoming increasingly sedentary with no or little physical activity. We propose a novel design for physical activity motivating games that leverages engagement with games in order to motivate users to perform physical activity ...
Hand gesture interface for content browse using wearable wrist contour measuring device
2015 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS)Recently, there are an increasing number of developing wearable devices that intent to display various contents. As can be seen in sign languages and hand signals, hand gestures can express rich information with small motions, therefore, they are useful ...
BackHand: Sensing Hand Gestures via Back of the Hand
UIST '15: Proceedings of the 28th Annual ACM Symposium on User Interface Software & TechnologyIn this paper, we explore using the back of hands for sensing hand gestures, which interferes less than glove-based approaches and provides better recognition than sensing at wrists and forearms. Our prototype, BackHand, uses an array of strain gauge ...
