We present E-MASK, a mask-shaped interface for silent speech interaction. As face masks have become daily accessories since the COVID-19 pandemic, it is reasonable to utilize a mask as a wearable interface. Unlike conventional speech recognition, we ...

We present a computational approach to haptic design embedded in everyday tangible interaction with digital fabrication. To generate haptic feedback, the use of permanent magnets as the mechanism potentially contributes to simpleness and robustness; ...

This paper presents Songle Sync, a web-based platform on which hundreds of Internet-connected devices - including smartphones, computers, and other physical computing devices - can be controlled to synchronize with music playback. It uses music-...

We present magneto-haptics, a design approach of haptic sensations powered by the forces present among permanent magnets during active touch. Magnetic force has not been efficiently explored in haptic design because it is not intuitive and there is a ...

This article presents a novel smart eyewear that recognizes the wearer’s facial expressions in daily scenarios. Our device uses embedded photo-reflective sensors and machine learning to recognize the wearer’s facial expressions. Our approach focuses on ...

This symposium showcases the latest work from Japan and Southeast Asia on interactive systems and user interfaces that address under-explored problems and demonstrate unique approaches. In addition to circulating ideas and sharing a vision of future ...

Toothbrushing plays an important role in daily dental plaque removal for preventive dentistry. Prior work has investigated improvements on toothbrushing with sensing technologies. But existing toothbrushing support focuses mostly on estimating brushing ...

This symposium showcases the latest work from Japan on interactive systems and user interfaces that address under-explored problems and demonstrate unique approaches. In addition to circulating ideas and sharing a vision of future research in human-...

This paper presents a novel smart eyewear that uses embedded photo reflective sensors and machine learning to recognize a wearer's facial expressions in daily life. We leverage the skin deformation when wearers change their facial expressions. With ...

Demos at UBICOMP 2015 provided researchers with an opportunity to present their latest cutting-edge research, but also early implementations, prototypes, work-in-progress systems, and commercial products. At UBICOMP, demos offer a chance for authors to ...

Skin is soft, durable and sensitive surface of human body. Skin gesture is a new interaction modality not only for wearable applications, but also on-body interfaces. SkinWatch is an interface technique and interaction modality for skin gesture input ...

The purpose of our study is to investigate human teaching behavior and robot learning behavior when a human teaches a robot. Agents for learning support need to build a pedagogical relationship, in which a teacher agent and a student agent change their ...

We present a novel wearable facial recognition system "AffectiveWear". This device can recognize 7 facial expressions (neutral, disgust, angry, smile, laugh, sad, and surprise). It looks like a normal eyewear; you can wear anytime, anywhere. We made 2 ...

We present the concept of Silhouette Interactions, using the shadow of our hand as an extension of our body to interact with our physical environment. We apply Silhouette Interactions to the application case of home appliance control, show 2 user ...

We propose an active display robot for tele-communication system combining 3-axis display arm manually controlled by touch input, and automatically controlled by human tracking. This system is designed to present distance change behavior between user and ...

The study of the telepresence robot as a tool for telecommunication from a remote location is attracting a considerable amount of attention. However, the problem arises that a telepresence robot system does not allow the volume of the user's utterance to ...

Facial expression is a powerful way for us to exchange information nonverbally. They can give us insights into how people feel and think. There are a number of works related to facial expression detection in computer vision. However, most works focus on ...

FlashTouch is a new technology that enables data communication between touchscreen-based mobile devices. Touchscreen can be used as communication media using visible light and capacitive touch. We designed a stylus and small case modules for ...

Facial expression is a powerful way for us to exchange information nonverbally. They can give us insights into how people feel and think. There are a number of works related to facial expression detection in computer vision. However, most works focus on ...

FluxPaper is a new paper-based medium that enables physical movement and dynamic interaction between a high-power magnetized paper and a programmable magnetic field. FluxPaper has a very thin patterned magnetic layer (0.1 mm) pasted behind the paper. A ...
