ABSTRACT
Seeking for more friendly, more efficient, and more effective human-computer interaction ways is an eternal hot topic. This video demonstrates a MagicWatch that can sense user's gestures, understand user's intensions, and achieve expected tasks with the underlying core techniques and the support of a back-end context aware smart system on a cloud platform. The MagicWatch can act as a pointer, a remote controller, and an information portal. Just using hand, you can point a building, a person, or a screen; you can control a device, for instance, changing TV channels, adjusting temperature, or switching slides; and you can get necessary information from the cloud. Moreover, this video highlights MagicWatch's seamless interactions with objects in its surrounding and easy segueing in cyber-physical spaces.

Watchit: simple gestures and eyes-free interaction for wristwatches and bracelets
CHI '13: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsWe present WatchIt, a prototype device that extends interaction beyond the watch surface to the wristband, and two interaction techniques for command selection and execution. Because the small screen of wristwatch computers suffers from visual occlusion ...
Pen + touch = new tools
UIST '10: Proceedings of the 23nd annual ACM symposium on User interface software and technologyWe describe techniques for direct pen+touch input. We observe people's manual behaviors with physical paper and notebooks. These serve as the foundation for a prototype Microsoft Surface application, centered on note-taking and scrapbooking of ...
Visual touchpad: a two-handed gestural input device
ICMI '04: Proceedings of the 6th international conference on Multimodal interfacesThis paper presents the Visual Touchpad, a low-cost vision-based input device that allows for fluid two-handed interactions with desktop PCs, laptops, public kiosks, or large wall displays. Two downward-pointing cameras are attached above a planar ...
