Touchless interfaces allow users to view, control and manipulate digital content without physically touching an interface. They are being explored in a wide range of application scenarios from medical surgery car dashboard controllers. One aspect touchless interaction that has not been date is the Sense Agency (SoA). The SoA refers subjective experience voluntary over actions external world. In this paper, we investigated systems using intentional binding paradigm. We first compare with...
Taste perception is influenced by sensory information not only about the food itself but also external environment where tasted. Prior studies have shown that both visual attributes of (e.g., light colour, location) and shape associated to plates, cutlery) can influence people's taste expectations. However, previous are typically based on non-edible shapes usually as 2D images or presented 3D tangible objects aimed be perceived subjects' hand. Therefore, effect mouthfeel differently shaped...
The Sense of Agency (SoA) refers to our capability control own actions and influence the world around us. Recent research in HCI has been investigating SoA provide users an instinctive sense "I did that" as opposed "the system that". However, current agency measurements are limited. Intentional Binding (IB) paradigm provides implicit measure SoA, however, it is constrained by requiring high visual attention a "Libet clock" on-screen. In this paper, we extended timing stimuli through auditory...
Previous research has shown the influence of smell on emotions, memories, and body image. However, most this work taken place in laboratory settings little is known about real-world environments. In article, we present novel insights gained from a field study investigating emotional effect memories Taking inspiration cultural design probes approach, designed QuintEssence, probe package that includes three scents materials to complete tasks over period four weeks. Here, describe QuintEssence...
The sound produced when touching fabrics, like a blanket, often provides information regarding the fabric's texture properties (e.g., its roughness). Fabric roughness is one of most important aspects assessing fabric tactile properties. Prior research has demonstrated that touch-related sounds can alter perception textures. However, understanding digital textures, and how they could convey affective responses remain challenge. In this study, we mapped textures using mid-air haptics stimuli...
The Sense of Agency (SoA) is crucial in interaction with technology, it refers to the feeling 'I did that' as opposed 'the system supporting a being control. Research human-computer has recently studied agency visual, auditory and haptic interfaces, however role smell on remains unknown. Our sense quite powerful elicit emotions, memories awareness environment, which been exploited enhance user experiences (e.g., VR driving scenarios). In light increased interest designing multimodal...
Ultrasonic mid-air haptic technology allows for the perceptual rendering of textured surfaces onto user's hand. Unlike real surfaces, however, feedback lacks implicit multisensory cues needed to reliably infer a texture's attributes (e.g., its roughness). In this paper, we combined textures with congruent sound investigate how sonification could influence people's (1) explicit judgment texture attributes, (2) sensations their own hand, and (3) motor behavior during exploration. Our results...
Scale adaptive techniques for VR navigation enable users to navigate spaces larger than the real space available, while allowing precise interaction when required. However, due these gradually scaling displacements as user moves (changing user's speed), they introduce a Drift effect. That is, returning same point in will not return space. This mismatch between real/virtual can grow over time, and turn unusable (i.e., cannot reach their target locations). In this paper, we characterise...
The rapid development of touchless systems has introduced many innovations in social interaction scenarios recent years. People now can interact with applications that are aimed to be used everyday situations the future. This accelerated makes us ask, what will next generation like? How we responsibly develop new technologies future? To answer first question, brought together 20 experts ideate, speculate, and evaluate possible for interactions. A total 48 ideas were generated from two...
Novel gustatory interfaces offer the potential to use sense of taste as a feedback modality during interaction. They are being explored in wide range implementations, from chemical electrical and thermal stimulation taste. However, fundamental aspect interaction that has yet be is Sense Agency (SoA). It subjective experience voluntary control over actions external world. This work investigates SoA systems using intentional binding paradigm quantify how different outcome modalities influence...
Ultrasound-based mid-air haptic feedback has been demonstrated to be an effective way receive in-vehicle information while reducing the driver's distraction. An important feature in communication between a driver and car is receiving notifications (e.g., warning alert). However, current configurations are not suitable for (haptic device on center console requiring palmar feedback) as they force take their hands off-the-wheel eyes off-the-road. In this paper, we propose “knuckles...
