ABSTRACT
Connecting devices in the digital domain for exchanging data is an essential task in everyday life. Additionally, our physical surrounding is full of valuable visual information. However, existing approaches for transferring digital content and extracting information from physical objects require separate equipment. SmartFinger aims to create a seamless 'channel' between digital devices and physical surrounding by using a finger-worn vision based system. It is an always available and intuitive interface for 'grasping' and semantically analyzing visual content from physical objects as well as sharing media between digital devices. We hope that SmartFinger will lead to seamless digital information 'channel' among all entities with a semblance in the physical and digital worlds.

SmartFinger: connecting devices, objects and people seamlessly
OzCHI '13: Proceedings of the 25th Australian Computer-Human Interaction Conference: Augmentation, Application, Innovation, CollaborationIn this paper, we demonstrate a method to create a seamless information media 'channel' between the physical and digital worlds. Our prototype, SmartFinger, aims to achieve this goal with a finger-worn camera, which continuously captures images for the ...
A remote control and media-sharing system using smart devices
The remote control and media sharing of electronic devices are key services in smart homes. The incorporation of mobile smart devices in these services has become a popular trend. Existing services require that these devices are located in the same ...
Give and take: a study of consumer photo-sharing culture and practice
CHI '07: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsIn this paper, we present initial findings from the study of a digital photo-sharing website: Flickr.com. In particular, we argue that Flickr.com appears to support-for some people-a different set of photography practices, socialization styles, and ...
