CLAW is a handheld virtual reality controller that augments the typical controller functionality
with force feedback and actuated movement to the index finger. Our controller enables three …

For more than two decades, capacitive sensing has played a prominent role in human-
computer interaction research. Capacitive sensing has become ubiquitous on mobile …

Touché proposes a novel Swept Frequency Capacitive Sensing technique that can not only
detect a touch event, but also recognize complex configurations of the human hands and …

In this paper, we present a novel acoustic touch sensing technique called Touch & Activate.
It recognizes a rich context of touches including grasp on existing objects by attaching only a …

Controllers are currently the typical input device for commercial Virtual Reality (VR) systems.
Yet, such controllers are not as efficient as other devices, including the mouse. This …

We explore the use of hand gestures for authoring animations in virtual reality (VR). We first
perform a gesture elicitation study to understand user preferences for a spatiotemporal, bare …

Skin-based touch input opens up new opportunities for direct, subtle, and expressive
interaction. However, existing skin-worn sensors are restricted to single-touch input and …

We propose cutting as a novel paradigm for ad-hoc customization of printed electronic
components. As a first instantiation, we contribute a printed capacitive multi-touch sensor …

This paper presents ChainFORM: a linear, modular, actuated hardware system as a novel
type of shape changing interface. Using rich sensing and actuation capability, this modular …
