Entertainment applications for tapping on a bathtub edge using embedded acoustic sensors
Shigeyuki Hirai, Daiki Ito · 2015
In past studies of smart environments and their applications in a house, we have developed bathtub systems that convert a normal tub into a user interface (UI) by the use of embedded sensors. We have developed another proposed UI for tapping, rapping, and knocking on a bathtub edge and some potential entertainment applications. In this paper, this bathtub system, which uses embedded piezoelectric acoustic sensors, is described, together with its entertainment applications in a bathroom.
