Human Computer Interaction

We present a technology for designing curved display surfaces that can both display information and sense two dimensions of human touch.

PAPILLON is a technology for designing highly expressive animated eyes for interactive characters, robots and toys.

We present a new energy harvesting technology that generates electrical energy from a user’s interactions with paper-like materials.

We introduce SideBySide, a system designed for ad-hoc multi-user interaction with handheld projectors.

In this work, we consider how the electrical properties of humans and their attire can be used to support user differentiation on touchscreens.

AIREAL is a novel haptic technology that delivers effective and expressive tactile sensations in free air, without requiring the user to wear a physical device.

The proposed system enables new entertaining applications by creating the illusion (for a human observer) that both transmitting and receiving LEDs are always switched on.

We present and evaluate a software-based VLC physical layer and a VLC medium access control layer that retain the simplicity of the LED-to-LED approach. The design satisfies the requirement that LEDs should always be perceived as on with constant brightness.

A novel approach for pairing RFID-enabled devices is introduced and evaluated in this work.

This poster investigates the use of a phase-based, Dual-Frequency Continuous-Wave (DFCW) and Continuous- Wave (CW) composite radar for RF backscatter ranging.
