SkipWriter: LLM-Powered Abbreviated Writing on Tablets

Large Language Models (LLMs) may offer transformative opportunities for text input, especially for physically demanding modalities like handwriting. We studied a form of abbreviated handwriting by designing, developing, and evaluating a prototype, named SkipWriter, that converts handwritten strokes of a variable-lengt…

Phrase-Gesture Typing on Smartphones

We study phrase-gesture typing, a gesture typing method that allows users to type short phrases by swiping through all the letters of the words in a phrase using a single, continuous gesture. Unlike word-gesture typing, where text needs to be entered word by word, phrase-gesture typing enters text phrase by phrase. To…

AccessibleCircuits: Adaptive Add-On Circuit Components for People with Blindness or Low Vision

In this paper, we propose the designs for low cost and 3D-printable add-on components to adapt existing breadboards, circuit components and electronics tools for users with blind or low vision (BLV). Through an initial user study, we identified several barriers to entry for beginners with BLV in electronics and circui…

BackSwipe: Back-of-device Word-Gesture Interaction on Smartphones

Back-of-device interaction is a promising approach to interacting on smartphones. In this paper, we create a back-of-device command and text input technique called BackSwipe, which allows a user to hold a smartphone with one hand, and use the index finger of the same hand to draw a word-gesture anywhere at the back o…

Project Tasca : Enabling Touch and Contextual Interactions with a Pocket-based Textile Sensor

We present Project Tasca, a pocket-based textile sensor that detects user input and recognizes everyday objects that a user carries in the pockets of a pair of pants (e.g., keys, coins, electronic devices, or plastic items). By creating a new fabric-based sensor capable of detecting in-pocket touch and pressure, and r…

BiTipText: Bimanual Eyes-Free Text Entry on a Fingertip Keyboard

We present a bimanual text input method on a miniature fingertip keyboard, that invisibly resides on the first segment of a user's index finger on both hands. Text entry can be carried out using the thumb-tip to tap the tip of the index finger. The design of our keyboard layout followed an iterative process, where we…

TipText: Eyes-Free Text Entry on a Fingertip Keyboard

In this paper, we propose and investigate a new text entry technique using micro thumb-tip gestures. Our technique features a miniature QWERTY keyboard residing invisibly on the first segment of the user’s index finger. Text entry can be carried out using the thumb-tip to tap the tip of the index finger. The keyboard…

WrisText: One-handed Text Entry on Smartwatch using Wrist Gestures

We present WrisText - a one-handed text entry technique for smartwatches using the joystick-like motion of the wrist. A user enters text by whirling the wrist of the watch hand, towards six directions which each represent a key in a circular keyboard, and where the letters are distributed in an alphabetical order. The…
