Abstract

Pygmy is an anthropomorphic device that magnifies hand expressions. It is based on the concept of hand anthropomorphism and it uses finger movements to create the anthropomorphic effect. Wearing the device is similar to having eyes and a mouth on the hand; the wearer's hand spontaneously expresses their emotions. Interactive manipulation by controllers and sensors make the hand look animated.

Pygmy: a ring-shaped robotic device that promotes the presence of an agent on human hand
APCHI '12: Proceedings of the 10th asia pacific conference on Computer human interaction

The human hand is an appropriate part to attach an agent robot. Pygmy is an anthropomorphic device that produces a presence on a human hand by magnifying the finger expressions. This device is in trial to develop an interaction model of an agent on the ...
Designing Elements for a Gaze Sensitive Object: Meet the CoffeePet
HAI '17: Proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Human Agent Interaction

It is not difficult to design an object that is sensitive to our gaze. The challenging part is to make the user realize it. And since people are not used to interacting with an object by simply moving their eyes (people use eyes to see, not to trigger ...
Human visual augmentation using wearable glasses with multiple cameras and information fusion of human eye tracking and scene understanding
HRI '11: Proceedings of the 6th international conference on Human-robot interaction

A smart wearable robot glasses system is proposed to assist human visual augmentation in daily life, providing a refined visual recognition result to users from multiple input images of the proposed system. It consists of a glasses-type wearable device ...
