ReflecTrace: Touchless Hover Interaction on Commodity Smartphones via Corneal Reflection

We propose an approach to detect finger hover inputs on a smartphone screen using corneal reflection images captured by the device’s built-in front camera. This method requires no external sensors or hardware, enabling hover input detection in the near-screen space that is not directly visible to the camera. By levera…

Zip-up Print: Rapid and Assemblable 3D printing Using 2D Flattened Zipper-like Structures

We propose a method to fabricate objects composed of 3D printed flattened pieces with integrated zipper-like structures. The object is manually assembled into a 3D shape by connecting the zipper components. By employing a zipper design that allows for angle-independent connections between patches, our method enables b…

SoilSense: Appropriating Soil-based Microbial Fuel Cells to Create Tangible Interfaces

Soil-based Microbial Fuel Cells (SMFCs) offer a sustainable method for powering low-energy computing devices by harnessing electricity from microbial activity in soil. In this paper, we introduce SoilSense, a novel approach that repurposes SMFCs as tangible interfaces, transforming soil into an interactive, computatio…

ScanRing: Hybrid Authentication System in a Ring Device Using a Distance Sensor and an IMU Sensor

Smart rings are used for contactless payment, smart lock operation, and health monitoring. For applications such as electronic payment and unlocking smart locks, the implementation of a user authentication system in smart rings is essential; however, some challenges remain. Fingerprint authentication is sensitive to f…

MaGEL: A Soft, Transparent Input Device Enabling Deformation Gesture Recognition

We propose MaGEL, a soft-input device that utilizes light intensity to detect and interpret user deformation interactions. Unlike traditional rigid input devices, MaGEL enables three-dimensional interactions such as twisting, bending, and pulling. Additionally, MaGEL incorporates elastic haptic feedback, providing use…

FlexEar-Tips: Shape-Adjustable Ear Tips Using Pressure Control

We introduce FlexEar-Tips, a dynamic ear tip system designed for the next-generation hearables. The ear tips are controlled by an air pump and solenoid valves, enabling size adjustments for comfort and functionality. FlexEar-Tips includes an air pressure sensor to monitor ear tip size, allowing it to adapt to environm…

EarHover: Mid-Air Gesture Recognition for Hearables Using Sound Leakage Signals

We introduce EarHover, an innovative system that enables mid-air gesture input for hearables. Mid-air gesture input, which eliminates the need to touch the device and thus helps to keep hands and the device clean, has been known to have high demand based on previous surveys. However, existing mid-air gesture input met…

Exploring User-Defined Gestures as Input for Hearables and Recognizing of Ear-Touch Gestures by IMUs

Hearables are highly functional earphone-type wearables; however, existing input methods using stand-alone hearables are limited in the number of commands, and there is a need to extend device operation through hand gestures. In previous research on hearables for hand input, user understanding and gesture recognition…

AudioMove: Applying the Spatial Audio to Multi-Directional Limb Exercise Guidance

Guiding users with limb exercise can assist muscle training or physical recovery. However, traditional vision-based methods often require multiple camera angles to help users understand the motions and require them to be within the range of the screen. Therefore, we propose a non-visual system that can guide users wit…
