Human-Computer Interaction

Touché proposes a novel Swept Frequency Capacitive Sensing technique that can not only detect a touch event, but also recognize complex configurations of the human hands and body.

We present a new tongue input device, the tongue joystick, for use by an actor inside an articulated-head character costume.

In this paper we explore the possibilities for this vision afforded by fabrication of custom optical elements using today’s 3D printing technology.

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.

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