Traditional games like "Tag" rely on shared control via inter-body interactions (IBIs) – touching, pushing, and pulling – that foster emotional and social connection. Digital games largely limit IBIs, with players using their bodies as input to control ...

Most digital bodily games focus on the body as they use movement as input. However, they also draw the player’s focus away from the body as the output occurs on visual displays, creating a divide between the physical body and the virtual world. We ...

Spectating digital games can be exciting. However, due to its vicarious nature, spectators often wish to engage in the gameplay beyond just watching and cheering. To blur the boundaries between spectators and players, we propose a novel approach called "...

Bodily games often use players’ physiology as input to provide output via screen-based modalities. Game design researchers could extend the use of the body as input and output (I/O) by using body-actuating technologies such as Electrical Muscle ...

On-the-go text-editing is difficult, yet frequently done in everyday lives. Using smartphones for editing text forces users into a heads-down posture which can be undesirable and unsafe. We present EYEditor, a heads-up smartglass-based solution that ...

Type 1 diabetes is a potentially life-threatening chronic condition that requires frequent interactions with diverse data to inform treatment decisions. While mobile technologies such as blood glucose meters have long been an essential part of this ...

Traditional interfaces are continuously being replaced by mobile, wearable, or pervasive interfaces. Yet when it comes to the input and output modalities enabling our interactions, we have yet to fully embrace some of the most natural forms of ...

The design of an interface for a pervasive wearable device requires attention to a wide range of user contexts, but can also leverage multi-modality in a way that mobile devices cannot. As wearable devices become more pervasively used, design paradigms ...

Traditional interfaces are continuously being replaced by mobile, wearable, or pervasive interfaces. Yet when it comes to the input and output modalities enabling our interactions, we have yet to fully embrace some of the most natural forms of ...

We bring forward a novel interaction model to complement the conventional models, which cannot fully describe the interactive process of wearable devices. By using this model as a method of thinking and design tool, designers can have clearer line of ...

Using the wearer's natural interaction with the environment, the SolarBurst necklace imbues the wearer with a sense of power, of 'superhuman', with each random burst of light. Using a 3-dimensional configuration, the necklace is made up of solar cells ...

This paper describes the artistic design concepts for the interactive wearable artworks tendrils and exhale exhibited at ACM Multimedia 2010 Interactive Art Program in Firenze Italy at the at the Palazzo Medici-Riccardi from 25 October through 6 ...

The use of a wrist-worn sensor that is able to read nearby RFID tags and the wearer's gestures has been suggested frequently as a way to both detect the objects we interact with and to identify the interaction. Making such a prototype feasible for ...

This paper summarizes the artistic concepts underlying the design of tendrils, a responsive kinetic wearable art-work in the form of an interactive garment. The design process of tendrils is based in artistic exploration influenced by the somatic turn: ...
