Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new interaction technique, called BandSense, which allows pressure-sensitive multi-touch interaction on a wristband. The proposed method provides users with a broader interaction area and higher input expressiveness, enabling a precision interaction with a less occlusion. To illustrate the potential of our approach, we present a series of example applications with several input vocabularies. We also describe the overall architecture of our system. We believe that our technique would greatly help users control a smartwatch easily and conveniently.
