Abstract

Human beings often give non-verbal instructions through motions of the hand and arm, such as pointing or waving. These motions convey not just actions, but the direction or target of those actions. In this paper, we integrate direction into gesture definitions by detecting frequency shifts created by relative motion between a receiver and transmitter and combining this with inertial motion data captured by a smartphone. With the combined data we are able separate similar gestures with 71.7% accuracy in a typical home use environment.

Belly gestures: body centric gestures on the abdomen
NordiCHI '14: Proceedings of the 8th Nordic Conference on Human-Computer Interaction: Fun, Fast, Foundational

Recent HCI research has shown that the body offers an interactive surface particularly suitable to eyes-free interaction. While researchers have mainly focused on the arms and the hands, we argue that the surface of the belly is especially appropriate. ...
User-defined gestures for free-hand TV control
EuroITV '12: Proceedings of the 10th European Conference on Interactive TV and Video

As researchers and industry alike are proposing TV interfaces that use gestures in their designs, understanding users' preferences for gesture commands becomes an important problem. However, no rules or guidelines currently exist to assist designers and ...
How Do People with Limited Movement Personalize Upper-Body Gestures? Considerations for the Design of Personalized and Accessible Gesture Interfaces
ASSETS '23: Proceedings of the 25th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility

Always-on, upper-body input from sensors like accelerometers, infrared cameras, and electromyography hold promise to enable accessible gesture input for people with upper-body motor impairments. When these sensors are distributed across the person’s body,...
