On-wrist vibrotactile feedback, such as provided through smartwatches, has been shown to have a positive impact on users’ touch input performance with mobile devices, but the user experience of combined on-screen and on-wrist vibrations has been ...

In this work, we investigated the integration between smartwatches and Cardboard devices for interaction in low-cost virtual environments. We analyzed five related works that explored this integration and discussed the main trends and challenges ...

Daily sufficient fluid intake is one of the important conditions of human health. Only an automatic monitoring of a sufficient fluid intake volume fulfills practicality requirements for people especially dependent on such intake, e.g. during ...

Human Digital Twins (HDTs) are specifically designed to represent humans virtually. Despite their recency, HDTs are considered to be powerful tools for enhancing personalized healthcare, early disease detection, improving patient outcomes, and ...

In this MobiSys demo, we present the demo of our SIGCOMM 2022 paper on underwater messaging system for existing mobile devices like smartphones and smart watches. Our software-only solution leverages audio sensors, i.e., microphones and speakers, ...

We examine touchscreen stroke-gestures and mid-air motion-gestures articulated by users with upper-body motor impairments with devices worn on the wrist, finger, and head. We analyze users’ gesture input performance in terms of production time, ...

Smartwatches have come into wide use in recent years, and a number of smartwatch applications that improve convenience and user health are being developed and introduced constantly. Moreover, the latest smartwatches are now designed to operate without ...

Self-tracking using commodity wearables such as smartwatches can help older adults reduce sedentary behaviors and engage in physical activity. However, activity recognition applications that are typically deployed in these wearables tend to be trained ...

We conduct a systematic literature review on wearable interactions for users with motor impairments and report results from a meta-analysis of 57 scientific articles identified in the ACM DL and IEEE Xplore databases. Our findings show limited research ...

Performing daily independent activities can be a challenge for people with Down's Syndrome (DS). This article investigates how to better support these activities with smart devices based on three cycles of a collaborative participatory action research (...

Chronic pain is often an ongoing challenge for patients to track and collect data. Pain-O-Vision is a smartwatch enabled pain management system that uses computer vision to capture the details of painful events from the user. A natural reaction to pain ...

Technology adoption among older adults has increased significantly in recent years. Yet, as new technologies proliferate and the demographics of aging shift, continued attention to older adults’ adoption priorities and learning preferences is required. ...

There are many situations where using personal devices is not socially acceptable, or where nearby people present a privacy risk. For these situations, we explore the concept of hidden interaction techniques through two prototype applications. ...

With the growing ubiquity of wearable devices, sensed physiological responses provide new means to connect with others. While recent research demonstrates the expressive potential for biosignals, the value of sharing these personal data remains unclear. ...

Researchers are interested in understanding the emotions of couples as it relates to relationship quality and dyadic management of chronic diseases. Currently, the process of assessing emotions is manual, time-intensive, and costly. Despite the ...

Smartwatches and other wearables are characterized by small-scale touchscreens that complicate the interaction with content. In this paper, we present Force9, the first optimized miniature keyboard leveraging force-sensitive touchscreens on wrist-worn ...

Wearable devices, such as smart watches and fitness trackers are growing in popularity, creating a need for application developers to adapt or extend a UI, typically from a smartphone, onto these devices. Wearables generally have a smaller form factor ...

Simultaneous alcohol and marijuana (SAM) use can significantly impact young adults' physical and mental well-being. While SAM use is becoming increasingly prevalent in this population, there has not been much work to monitor and understand related ...

Researchers are interested in understanding the dyadic interactions of couples as they relate to relationship quality and chronic disease management. Currently, ambulatory assessment of couples' interactions entail collecting data at random times in the ...

We present a qualitative study with 16 deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) participants examining reactions to smartwatch-based visual + haptic sound feedback designs. In Part 1, we conducted a Wizard-of-Oz (WoZ) evaluation of three smartwatch feedback ...
