Plex: Finger-Worn Textile Sensor for Mobile Interaction during Activities
Abstract: We present Plex, a finger-worn textile sensor for eyes-free mobile interaction during daily activities. Although existing products like a data glove possess multiple sensing capabilities, they are not designed for environments where body and finger motion...
BendID: Flexible Interface for Localized Deformation Recognition
Abstract: We present BendID, a bendable input device that recognizes the location, magnitude and direction of its deformation. We use BendID to provide users with a tactile metaphor for pressure based input. The device is constructed by layering an array of indium tin...
Art Meets Engineering Design: An Approach for Reducing Sketch Inhibition in Engineers During the Design Process
Abstract: While much prior work has been done regarding sketching and its impact on design and a few on how to train engineers to sketch, there have been no prior studies in engineering to reduce inhibition to frequent sketching. This paper describes a sketching...
