ABSTRACT
Displays are a ubiquitous part of our everyday life. Digital, as well as paper-based displays, are used on various occasions to present us with different information. While users cannot interact with many of these displays yet, they could benefit from making them interactive. Research shows that thermal cameras can be exploited to make surfaces interactive by sensing touchpoints based on the heat signature and residue. However, most of the research done uses a stationary setup. This work proposes HeatGoggles, a wearable gadget detecting touch input on arbitrary surfaces using thermal imaging. We report on its design, prototypical implementation, and first evaluation. We show that it can be used on non-touch-enabled displays as well as other traditional information displays.

Expanding touch input vocabulary by using consecutive distant taps
CHI '14: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsIn recent years, touch screens have emerged and matured as the main input interface for mobile and tablet computers calling for extended touch input possibilities. In this paper, we explore the use of consecutive distant taps to expand the touch screen ...
Touch-sensing input devices
CHI '99: Proceedings of the SIGCHI conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsWe can touch things, and our senses tell us when our hands are touching something. But most computer input devices cannot detect when the user touches or releases the device or some portion of the device. Thus, adding touch sensors to input devices offers ...
B2B-Swipe: Swipe Gesture for Rectangular Smartwatches from a Bezel to a Bezel
CHI '16: Proceedings of the 2016 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsWe present B2B-Swipe, a single-finger swipe gesture for a rectangular smartwatch that starts at a bezel and ends at a bezel to enrich input vocabulary. There are 16 possible B2B-Swipes because a rectangular smartwatch has four bezels. Moreover, B2B-...
