Understanding User Requirements for Creating Sensor-Powered Smart Car Cabins Through Retrofitting

In this paper, we explore a novel approach that leverages retrofitting to create sensor-powered smart car cabins. We propose that retrofitting offers a promising way to complement and extend the capabilities of built-in smart cabin sensors provided by car manufacturers. To understand how retrofitting solutions should…

IntelliLining: Activity Sensing through Textile Interlining Sensors Using TENGs

We introduce a novel component for smart garments: smart interlining, and validate its technical feasibility through a series of experiments. Our work involved the implementation of a prototype that employs a textile vibration sensor based on Triboelectric Nanogenerators (TENGs), commonly used for activity detection.…

BIT: Battery-free, IC-less and Wireless Smart Textile Interface and Sensing System

The development of smart textile interfaces is hindered by the inclusion of rigid hardware components and batteries within the fabric, which pose challenges in terms of manufacturability, usability, and environmental concerns related to electronic waste. To mitigate these issues, we propose a smart textile interface a…

WooDowel: Electrode Isolation for Electromagnetic Shielding in Triboelectric Plywood Sensors

We present a new approach to address the challenges associated with maintaining the functionality of triboelectric vibration sensors in smart plywood during woodworking operations involving nails and screws. The current state-of-the-art sensor design employs non-overlapping electrodes, which unfortunately leads to sig…

“It’s Not an Issue of Malice, but of Ignorance”: Towards Inclusive Video Conferencing for Presenters Who are d/Deaf or Hard of Hearing

"As video conferencing (VC) has become necessary for many professional, educational, and social tasks, people who are d/Deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) face distinct accessibility barriers. We conducted studies to understand the challenges faced by DHH people during VCs and found that they struggled to easily present o…

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…

iWood: Makeable Vibration Sensor for Interactive Plywood

iWood is interactive plywood that can sense vibration based on triboelectric effect. As a material, iWood survives common woodworking operations, such as sawing, screwing, and nailing and can be used to create furniture and artifacts. Things created using iWood inherit its sensing capability and can detect a variety o…
