ABSTRACT
In this paper, we explore the possibilities of providing miniaturized audio players with gesture control capabilities that are based on wearable objects. We selected thirteen wearable objects and used them as interaction surfaces. We used user-centered design methods to collect interaction gestures suited for play, stop, volume up, volume down, previous song, and next song functions. The characteristics and possibility of these interaction gestures are also discussed.

Wearable remote control of a mobile device: comparing one- and two-handed interaction
MobileHCI '14: Proceedings of the 16th international conference on Human-computer interaction with mobile devices & servicesWhile wearable technologies are suitable for remotely controlling mobile devices, few studies have examined user preferences for one- or two-handed touch interaction with these wearables, especially when worn on the wrist and hand area. As these ...
Mobile gesture interaction using wearable tactile displays
CHI EA '09: CHI '09 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing SystemsWe present an interaction method for mobile gesture interaction using wearable tactile displays. We are attempting to show that wrist-worn tactile displays provide adequate feedback to enable reversible and error-resistant gesture-based interaction. In ...
