Human Computer Interaction

In this paper, we describe the dialog management mechanisms to achieve these goals when applied to a robot that engages in social chit-chat.

We extend the potential for immersion along these dimensions with the Force Jacket, a novel array of pneumatically-actuated airbags and force sensors that provide precisely directed force and high-frequency vibrations to the upper body.

We present Wall++, a low-cost sensing approach that allows walls to become a smart infrastructure.

We present here an end-to-end BCC system that is designed for ambient intelligence.

In this paper, we explore intermanual apparent tactile motion without any object between them.

Prior work on quasistatic cavity resonance (QSCR) showed promising results for ubiquitous WPT at room scales or larger.

Conquer it! is a lightweight proof-of-concept exertion game that demonstrates Body Channel Communication (BCC) in a smart environment.

Do we feel colors? Visual perception is the key to creating realism and surrounding environments in virtual and mixed reality settings.

Tactile effects are created using directable water jets that spray onto the rear of a flexible screen, with different nozzles for different firework effects.

We develop several interactive experiences where users can retrieve complex information such as the function of buttons on a device, directions embedded into a LCD screen, and simplified device pairing.
