Abstract

We introduce Tap4Light, an interaction technique for controlling smart lighting systems with finger tapping gestures captured with a five-finger augmentation device. Tap4Light employs simple tap input that, when combined across all of the five fingers of the hand, enables a rich gesture vocabulary for controlling applications, systems, and services in the context of Ambient Intelligence environments. We demonstrate Tap4Light with a set of eleven tap gestures, the Tap Strap 2 wearable, and Philips Hue smart lamps.
