Prototyping input controller for touch-less interaction with ubiquitous environments
Kamer Ali Yüksel, Serdar Hasan Adali · 2011
In ubiquitous computing environments, the information processing is integrated into everyday objects that are ideally small, inexpensive and wirelessly networked devices. Contemporary human-computer interaction models are not adequate to control miniaturized devices, which are distributed throughout everyday life and activities. This post-desktop model requires natural gesture-based interaction with distributed devices in an egocentric manner as opposed to the current device-centric interaction. In this work, we have utilized the recently proposed touch-less gesture-based interaction method based on magnetic field to provide a hardware basis for a wearable input controller. Furthermore, we have discussed how the proposed device can allow natural interaction with other devices within a ubiquitous computing environment such as personal area network.
