Prototyping Things: Reflecting on Unreported Objects of Design Research for IoT

Prototypes and other ‘things’ have had many uses in HCI research—to help understand a problem, as a stepping stone towards a solution, or as a final outcome of a research process. However, within the messy context of a research through design project, many of these roles do not form part of the final research narrativ…

Fighting Fires and Powering Steam Locomotives: Distribution of Control and Its Role in Social Interaction at Tangible Interactive Museum Exhibits

We present a video-analysis study of museum visitors' interactions at two tangible interactive exhibits in a transport museum. Our focus is on groups’ social and shared interactions, in particular how exhibit setup and structure influence collaboration patterns. Behaviors at the exhibits included individuals focusing…

Back-Hand-Pose: 3D Hand Pose Estimation for a Wrist-worn Camera via Dorsum Deformation Network

The automatic recognition of how people use their hands and fingers in natural settings – without instrumenting the fngers – can be useful for many mobile computing applications. To achieve such an interface, we propose a vision-based 3D hand pose estimation framework using a wrist-worn camera. The main challenge is t…

Opisthenar: Hand Poses and Finger Tapping Recognition by Observing Back of Hand Using Embedded Wrist Camera

We introduce a vision-based technique to recognize hand poses and gestures by simply observing changes on the back of the hand. Our approach employs a camera on the wrist, which we envisage can be included in a wrist-worn device such as a smartwatch, fitness tracker or wristband. However, in this configuration the fi…

CHI '19Notification & Interruption Management

A Comparison of Notification Techniques for Out-of-View Objects in Full-Coverage Displays

Full-coverage displays can place visual content anywhere on the interior surfaces of a room (e.g., a weather display near the coat stand). In these settings, digital artefacts can be located behind the user and out of their field of view - meaning that it can be difficult to notify the user when these artefacts need a…

RotoSwype: Word-Gesture Typing using a Ring

We propose RotoSwype, a technique for word-gesture typing using the orientation of a ring worn on the index finger. RotoSwype enables one-handed text-input without encumbering the hand with a device, a desirable quality in many scenarios, including virtual or augmented reality. The method is evaluated using two arm po…

AdaM: Adapting Multi-User Interfaces for Collaborative Environments in Real-Time

Developing cross-device multi-user interfaces (UIs) is a challenging problem. There are numerous ways in which content and interactivity can be distributed. However, good solutions must consider multiple users, their roles, their preferences and access rights, as well as device capabilities. Manual and rule-based solu…

Considering Agency and Data Granularity in the Design of Visualization Tools

Previous research has identified trade-offs when it comes to designing visualization tools. While constructive ``bottom-up'' tools promote a hands-on, user-driven design process that enables a deep understanding and control of the visual mapping, automated tools are more efficient and allow people to rapidly explore c…

Change Blindness in Proximity-Aware Mobile Interfaces

Interface designs on both small and large displays can encourage people to alter their physical distance to the display. Mobile devices support this form of interaction naturally, as the user can move the device closer or further away as needed. The current generation of mobile devices can employ computer vision, dept…

Pointing All Around You: Selection Performance of Mouse and Ray-Cast Pointing in Full-Coverage Displays

As display environments become larger and more diverse - now often encompassing multiple walls and room surfaces - it is becoming more common that users must find and manipulate digital artifacts not directly in front of them. There is little understanding, however, about what techniques and devices are best for carry…
