ABSTRACT
Most current mobile technologies require on-screen operations for interacting with devices' visual contents. However, as a trade-off for mobility, screens usually provide limited space for interactions. To address this problem, I explore Body-Centric Interaction (BCI) -- a design theme that extends a mobile device's interaction space from screen space to body space. My research methodology follows several steps. First, I use a generative bottom-up method -- sketches and proof of concept implementations -- to frame the breadth of the design space. Second, I populate the space with related work, which also unifies what has been done. Third -- which is work in progress -- I explore the depth of promising BCI methods, with the goal of developing, refining and testing particular mobile interaction techniques.

Extending a mobile device's interaction space through body-centric interaction
MobileHCI '12: Proceedings of the 14th international conference on Human-computer interaction with mobile devices and servicesModern mobile devices rely on the screen as a primary input modality. Yet the small screen real-estate limits interaction possibilities, motivating researchers to explore alternate input techniques. Within this arena, our goal is to develop Body-Centric ...
Exploring finger specific touch screen interaction for mobile phone user interfaces
OzCHI '14: Proceedings of the 26th Australian Computer-Human Interaction Conference on Designing Futures: the Future of DesignToday, mobile phones with touch screens are widespread but as de facto, the interaction space is limited to single finger taps or multitouch gestures. In this paper, we present an investigation of a novel interaction concept for mobile phone touch ...
Impact of mobile tangible slider design and its reachability on pointing performance
IHM '16: Actes de la 28ième conference francophone sur l'Interaction Homme-MachineTouch interaction is almost omnipresent on mobile devices and technological advances have made screens bigger. The users can then interact with more content displayed on screen but it is more difficult for the users to reach all the parts of the screen ...
