The interest in enhancing video game interactions through wearable technology has grown, yet accessible gaming with wearables remains underexplored. This study employs participatory design fiction, enabling disabled gamers to envision a future with ...

Low motion-to-photon latencies between physical movement and rendering updates are crucial for an immersive virtual reality (VR) experience and to avoidusers’ discomfort and sickness. Current methods aim to minimize the delay between the motion ...

While traditional earphones primarily offer private audio spaces, so-called "earables" emerged to offer a variety of sensing capabilities. Pioneering platforms like OpenEarable have introduced novel sensing platforms targeted at the ears, incorporating ...

Iterative design cycles for tangible user interfaces and wearable devices require efficient prototyping techniques to optimize development and to elevate the overall design efficacy. A key challenge for rapid prototyping techniques such as cardboard ...

Loss of control in gripping with the hand is a possible long term effect of stroke. Recovery from this is possible through rehabilitation. Nowadays, robotic assistive technology are being explored and used for such rehabilitation. By taking the surface ...

This paper investigates sound and music interactions arising from the use of electromyography (EMG) to instrumentalise signals from muscle exertion of the human body. We situate EMG within a family of embodied interaction modalities, where it occupies a ...

Assistive medical device, such as gastrostomy and ventilation, plays a crucial role in extending the lifespan of individuals with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Additionally, augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) systems are essential ...

While the limited ankle dorsiflexion syndrome (ADS) is common in neuro-musculoskeletal conditions, the instrument-assisted mobilization focused on the shortened gastro-soleus myofascial structure (IMI) rather than the homologous structure (...

This paper presents the design and synthesis of a digital electromyographic signal processor applying dedicated processing methods and pattern recognition for the classification of upper limb movements of the human body. To accelerate the digital ...

Mobile extended reality (XR) applications are anticipated to generate substantial traffic for 6G. Such applications not only require high data rate and low-latency transmissions, but also accurate and real-time pose estimation to enable interactive ...

The cerebellum and its connections to the cerebrum can be modulated by noninvasive brain stimulation (NIBS) techniques, especially transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS). This modulation may affect movements and muscle strength by increasing ...

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) represent a cross-cutting problem among healthcare workers; particular attention should be given to surgeons who are involved in mentally and physically demanding tasks. This work aimed to propose a multi-...

Robotic hand therapy is widely used in rehabilitation for patients with hand dysfunction caused by stoke. However, the effectiveness of passive robotic hand training for rehabilitation is still unknown. In this study, we assessed the impact of ...

Electromyography (EMG) signals and ultrasound sensing have been widely studied to estimate movement intentions in the human-machine interface (HMI) field. In this study, we compared the EMG and ultrasound for estimation of the positions and torque ...

Electromyography (EMG) has been explored as an HCI input modality following a long history of success for prosthesis control. While EMG has the potential to address a range of hands-free interaction needs, it has yet to be widely accepted outside of ...

While tremendous advances in visual and auditory realism have been made for virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR), introducing a plausible sense of physicality into the virtual world remains challenging. Closing the gap between real-world physicality and ...

The variations in muscular contraction between endurance and power athletes have usually been evaluated from lower limb muscles. The aim of this study is to integrate the application of machine learning in automatically classifying the muscle ...

Novel input methods for game design often excite users, especially if they extend the way one interacts with the system. Electromyography (EMG) has the inherent potential to provide an intuitive - yet challenging - input channel for interactive systems. ...

This paper discusses the design of the Singing Knit, a wearable knit collar for measuring a singer’s vocal interactions through surface electromyography. We improve the ease and comfort of multi-electrode bio-sensing systems by adapting knit e-textile ...

Biofeedback therapy has been popular for a long time in treating problems like stress and tension type headache (TTH). TTH is very common in our life, if it appears frequently and with increased frequency then it is called as 'distress'. Present paper is ...
