ABSTRACT
In this video, we discuss the design of an e-textile shirt with an interactive Lumalive display featuring a touch-controlled image browser. To determine where to place touch sensors, we investigated which areas of the Lumalive shirt users would be comfortable touching or being touched based on how often participants would opt out of touches. For both touchers and touchees, opt-outs occurred mostly in the upper chest. On the front, the upper chest and lower abdominal zones were the least comfortable. Findings suggest participants were less comfortable with touches on the upper chest, the lower abdomen, and the lower back. We conclude that the most appropriate areas for touch sensors on a shirt are on the arms, shoulders, and upper back.

To touch or not to touch?: comparing 2D touch and 3D mid-air interaction on stereoscopic tabletop surfaces
SUI '13: Proceedings of the 1st symposium on Spatial user interactionRecent developments in touch and display technologies have laid the groundwork to combine touch-sensitive display systems with stereoscopic three-dimensional (3D) display. Although this combination provides a compelling user experience, interaction with ...
Air+touch: interweaving touch & in-air gestures
UIST '14: Proceedings of the 27th annual ACM symposium on User interface software and technologyWe present Air+Touch, a new class of interactions that interweave touch events with in-air gestures, offering a unified input modality with expressiveness greater than each input modality alone. We demonstrate how air and touch are highly complementary: ...
Expressive touch: studying tapping force on tabletops
CHI '14: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsThis paper investigates users' ability to perform force-sensitive tapping and explores its potential as an input modality in touch-based systems. We study force-sensitive tapping using Expressive Touch, a tabletop interface that infers tapping force ...
