Mobile Device Interaction with Force Sensing

چکیده
We propose a new type of input for mobile devices by sensing forces applied by users to device casings. Deformation of the devices is not necessary for such “force gestures” to be detectable. Our prototype implementation augments an ultra-mobile PC (UMPC) to detect twisting and bending forces. We describe examples of interactions using these forces, employing twisting to perform application switching (alttab) and interpreting bending as page-down/up. We present a user study exploring users’ abilities to reliably apply twisting and bending forces to various degrees, and draw implications from this study for future force-

I Sense a Disturbance in the Force: Mobile Device Interaction with Force Sensing
We propose a new type of input for mobile devices by sensing forces such as twisting and bending applied by users. Deformation of the devices is not necessary for such “force gestures” to be detectable. Our prototype implementation augments an ultra-mobile PC (UMPC) to detect twisting and bending forces. We detail example interactions using these forces, employing twisting to perform applicatio...

Introduction: With regard to an increase in use of modern communication technologies including mobile facilities and their application in learning and training, taking quality and users’ needs into account is a fundamental matter. In this article, an attempt has been made to investigate the factors influencing mobile learning from the perspective of M.S. and Ph.D. medical sciences students stud...
متن کاملReaction Force/Torque Sensing in a Master-Slave Robot System without Mechanical Sensors
In human-robot cooperative control systems, force feedback is often necessary in order to achieve high precision and high stability. Usually, traditional robot assistant systems implement force feedback using force/torque sensors. However, it is difficult to directly mount a mechanical force sensor on some working terminals, such as in applications of minimally invasive robotic surgery, microma...
متن کاملVision-based External Force Estimation for Mobile Robots
This paper describes an approach of vision-based external force estimation for mobile robots. The force related motion control such as force control, compliant control, impedance control and so on, requires the force sensing property. And the visual information is one of important resources for recognizing environments in mobile systems. In the proposed approach, external force and robot veloci...
متن کاملExcitatory Multimodal Interaction on Mobile Devices∗
Shoogle is a novel, intuitive interface for sensing data within a mobile device, such as presence and properties of text messages or remaining resources. It is based around active exploration: devices are shaken, revealing the contents rattling around “inside”. Vibrotactile display and realistic impact sonification create a compelling system. Inertial sensing is used for completely eyes-free, s...
