Human epidermis, as the largest organ on body, has become a new design platform for wearable computing. The availability of miniature electronics makes more possibilities on-skin designs. In this paper, we present AnimSkin, thin-film interface, which will emit dynamic color animations directly skin. This is done by using thermochromic material embedded with transparent electrode acting capacitive sensor. Moreover, an accessible and low-cost fabrication method introduced. Individuals could...
To increase the ubiquity and merging of Olfactory Interfaces (OIs) into daily scenarios seamlessly aesthetically, we propose OlfacKit, a fully integrated pipeline, which consists (1) an interactive design tool that enables novice users to quickly model physical forms OIs automatically generate fabrication-ready designs; (2) construction workflow with series assembly kits video tutorial; (3) WebUI for rapidly testing prototyping smell control through Wi-Fi communication. We tested atomization...
Voice user interfaces (VUI) are becoming indispensable in car for offering drivers the opportunity to make distraction-free inputs and conduct complex tasks. However, usability control efficiency of today's VUI remain be enhanced due its sequential nature. In this work, we explored gestural input on steering wheel improve interaction VUI. Based limitations VUI, designed novel commands augment them. We also elicited corresponding user-defined gestures by exploring drivers' touch behavior....
Human skin is the largest organ on our body not only senses and external environment. A growing number of researchers devote themselves to design seamless interfaces directly skin. In this late-breaking work, we propose a novel way for creating dynamic 2.5D textures, called SKIN+, soft fluidic mini-scale user interface by introducing actuation. We have created four swatches with different pre-defined topologies structures explore how actuation system can benefit on-skin experiences...
We explored mid-air gestural interactions for proactive smell experiences in Virtual Reality (VR). With a wearable scent-delivery device, set of gestures that interact with virtual objects are mapped to corresponding olfactory tasks, i.e., scent release, intensity adjustment, and switch. conducted user study preliminary validation, revealing significant advantages over the traditional handle controller release. Our findings demonstrate potential enhancing VR contribute insights into how...
In this paper, we propose ScenThread, a controllable threadlike olfactory display that could be woven into textiles, creating localized scent release on flexible surface. ScenThread comprises tubular PTFE reservoir, lightweight and non-vibrating piezoelectric pumping system for delivering the scents, permeable silicone tubing to diffuse aroma, as well heating module using conductive yarns accelerating release. can refilled reused multiple times. We articulated mechanical design of pattern...
Underwater robot is essential equipment for exploring the marine environment. It important that children get exposed to these technologies as earlier possible, especially there a high demand developing expertise and awareness in underwater robot. Although examples of making toolkit currently exist, few focus specifically on integration with water In this paper, we explore toolkit, ModBot, which can be applied The hardware was developed using electronic, counterweight, shape modules...
Abstract This study aimed to facilitate interaction between children and plants as a form of education about ecosystem conservation. Planting is desired access contact with nature in the family environment because it safer than animals easy care. But may have trouble treating life, not find them attractive. Plants essentially no ability voluntarily move, express themselves vocalize; thus, they are hard give instant feedback get human’s attention evoke empathy. In light these conditions, we...
We present eGlove, a wearable and low-cost fabric sensor for recognizing rich context of objects by touching them, including daily necessities, fruits, plants, as well different body parts. Our sensing approach utilizes Swept frequency Capacitive Sensing (SFCS) to provide consistent readings even when the electrode is under varying deformation stretching degrees. work proposes an easy fabrication method hardware configuration prototyping interactive sensor. evaluated our system's...
