Purpose In this article, we systematically examine the current state of research of systems
that focus on touchless human–computer interaction in operating rooms and interventional …

Foot-operated computer interfaces have been studied since the inception of human--
computer interaction. Thanks to the miniaturisation and decreasing cost of sensing …

Wearable computing enables more personalized healthcare through a distributed
information sharing model that puts patients and users rather than providers, insurers, and …

The widespread use of technology in hospitals and the difficulty of sterilising computer
controls has increased opportunities for the spread of pathogens. This leads to an interest in …

The Covid-19 pandemic has created a demand for technologies that allow us to avoid
touching devices. Before the pandemic, the world had a difficult time understanding the …

Foot interfaces, such as pressure-sensitive insoles, still yield unused potential such as for
implicit interaction. In this paper, we introduce CapSoles, enabling smart insoles to implicitly …

What do pedestrian crossings, ATMs, elevators and ticket machines have in common?
These are just a few of the ubiquitous yet essential elements of public-space infrastructure …

Hand gesture recognition has become one of the most interesting means of contactless
human-computer interaction. There is significant importance for commanding medical …

3D gesture based systems are becoming ubiquitous and there are many mid-air hand
gestures that exist for interacting with digital surfaces and displays. There is no well defined …

During minimally-invasive interventions, physicians need to interact with medical image
data, which cannot be done while the hands are occupied. To address this challenge, we …
