Contextra: Detecting Object Grasps With Low-Power Cameras and Sensor Fusion On the Wrist

Knowing when a user picks up an object plays a vital role in many context-aware applications. For example, tracking water consumption, counting calories consumed, or reminding you to bring your keys are all context-centered scenarios involving picking up objects. In this project, we propose Contextra, a wrist-worn sys…

ElectroRing: Subtle Pinch and Touch Detection with a Ring

We present ElectroRing, a wearable ring-based input device that reliably detects both onset and release of a subtle finger pinch, and more generally, contact of the fingertip with the user's skin. ElectroRing addresses a common problem in ubiquitous touch interfaces, where subtle touch gestures with little movement or…
