Arm fatigue accumulates during a prolonged use of mid-air interfaces such as Oculus Rift. (Purdue University Photo/Brian Huchel) WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Researchers at Purdue University’s C Design Lab are studying arm and muscle fatigue...
Modeling Cumulative Arm Fatigue in Mid-Air Interaction based on Perceived Exertion and Kinetics of Arm Motion
In Proceedings of the ACM Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI 2017: 3328-3339), Denver, CO, May 6-11, 2017 (Acceptance Rate: 25%)
Quantifying cumulative arm muscle fatigue is a critical factor in understanding, evaluating, and optimizing user experience during prolonged mid-air interaction. A reasonably accurate estimation of fatigue requires an estimate of an individual's...
A Collaborative Filtering Approach to Real-Time Hand Pose Estimation
In Proc. IEEE International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV) 2015, Santiago, Chile.
Collaborative filtering aims to predict unknown user ratings in a recommender system by collectively assessing known user preferences. In this paper, we first draw analogies between collaborative filtering and the pose estimation problem....
MotionFlow: Visual Abstraction and Aggregation of Sequential Patterns in Human Motion Tracking Data
IEEE Transaction on Visualization and Computer Graphics (TVCG) vol.22, no.1, pp.21-30, Jan. 31, 2016 / IEEE Conference on Visual Analytics Science and Technology (VAST) Oct. 25-30, Chicago, IL, 2015. In print.
Pattern analysis of human motions, which is useful in many research areas, requires understanding and comparison of different styles of motion patterns. However, working with human motion tracking data to support such analysis poses great...

GestureAnalyzer: Visual Analytics for Pattern Analysis of Mid-Air Hand Gestures
Proceedings of the ACM Symposium on Spatial User Interaction, October 4-5, 2014, Honolulu, HI, USA
Understanding the intent behind human gestures is a critical problem in the design of gestural interactions. A common method to observe and understand how users express gestures is to use elicitation studies. However, these studies requires...
PuppetX: A Framework for Gestural Interactions With User Constructed Playthings
Proceedings of the ACM Conference on Advanced Visual Interfaces, May 27-30, Como, Italy. pp. 73-80, 2014
We present PuppetX, a framework for both constructing playthings and playing with them using spatial body and hand gestures. This framework allows users to construct various playthings similar to puppets with modular components representing basic...
