Advancements in Augmented Reality (AR) technologies and processing power of mobile devices have created a surge in the number of mobile AR applications. Nevertheless, many AR applications have adopted surface gestures as the default method for ...

In this paper, the effect of social exposure on smartphone motion gestures is investigated. A within-subject repeated measures experiment was conducted where participants performed sets of motion gestures on a smartphone in both private and public ...

The use of mobile devices to interact with public or semi-public displays has been widely studied. Researchers have investigated the potential use of motion gestures in such settings to allow users to control the display without having to shift either ...

Motion gestures can be expressive, fast to access and perform, and facilitated by ubiquitous inertial sensors. However, implementing a gesture recognizer requires substantial programming and pattern recognition expertise. Although several graphical ...

We present Mogeste, a smartphone-based tool, to enable rapid, iterative, in-situ motion gesture design by interaction designers. It supports development of in-air gestural interaction with existing inertial sensors on commodity wearable and mobile ...

We present our ongoing research on automatic segmentation of motion gestures tracked by IMUs. We postulate that by recognizing gesture execution phases from motion data that we may be able to auto-delimit user gesture entries. We demonstrate that ...

We contribute a novel method for detecting finger taps on the different sides of a smartphone, using the built-in motion sensors of the device. In particular, we discuss new features and algorithms that infer side taps by probabilistically combining ...

We present insights from a gesture elicitation study in the context of interacting with TV, during which 18 participants contributed and rated the execution difficulty and recall likeliness of free-hand gestures for 21 distinct TV tasks. Our study ...

Full-body motion gestures enable realistic and intuitive input in video games. However, little is known regarding how different kinds of players engage/disengage with full-body game interaction. In this paper, adopting a user-typing approach, we explore ...

Motion gestures are an underutilized input modality for mobile interaction, despite numerous potential advantages. Negulescu et al. found that the lack of feedback on attempted motion gestures made it difficult for participants to diagnose and correct ...

Motion gestures enable natural and intuitive input in video games. However, game gestures designed by developers may not always be the optimal gestures for players. A key challenge in designing appropriate game gestures lies in the interaction-intensive ...

When using motion gestures, 3D movements of a mobile phone, as an input modality, one significant challenge is how to teach end users the movement parameters necessary to successfully issue a command. Is a simple video or image depicting movement of a ...

Taking self-portraits with a digital camera is a popular way to present oneself through photography. Traditional techniques for taking self-portraits, such as use of self-timers or face detection, provide only a modest degree of interaction between the ...

Motivated by the addition of gyroscopes to a large number of new smart phones, we study the effects of combining accelerometer and gyroscope data on the recognition rate of motion gesture recognizers with dimensionality constraints. Using a large data ...

Designers of motion gestures for mobile devices face the difficult challenge of building a recognizer that can separate gestural input from motion noise. A threshold value is often used to classify motion and effectively balances the rates of false ...

One form of input for interacting with large shared surfaces is through mobile devices. These personal devices provide interactive displays as well as numerous sensors to effectuate gestures for input. We examine the possibility of using surface and ...

Smartphones are frequently used in environments where the user is distracted by another task, for example by walking or by driving. While the typical interface for smartphones involves hardware and software buttons and surface gestures, researchers have ...

To make motion gestures more widely adopted on mobile devices it is important that devices be able to distinguish between motion intended for mobile interaction and every-day motion. In this paper, we present DoubleFlip, a unique motion gesture designed ...

Modern smartphones contain sophisticated sensors to monitor three-dimensional movement of the device. These sensors permit devices to recognize motion gestures - deliberate movements of the device by end-users to invoke commands. However, little is ...

In order to use motion gestures with mobile devices it is imperative that the device be able to distinguish between input motion and everyday motion. In this abstract we present DoubleFlip, a unique motion gesture designed to act as an input delimiter ...
