ThumbTec: A New Handheld Input Device
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes ThumbTEC, a novel general purpose input device for the thumb or finger that is useful in a wide variety of applications from music to text entry. The device i s made up of three switches in a row and one miniature joystick on top of the middle switch. The combination of joystick direction and switch(es) controls what note or alphanumeric character is selected by the finger. Several applications are detailed.

A Step Towards a Multimodal AR Interface: A New Handheld Device for 3D Interaction
In this paper, we describe the AR Mask, a novel handheld Augmented Reality (AR) input and display device that not only provides support for a full range of traditional interaction techniques, but also facilitates new metaphors. Unlike other AR display and input technologies, our device consolidates input and output within a single piece of hardware. We demonstrate how this design provides a clo...
متن کاملExploring Edge-Based Input Techniques for Handheld Text Entry
We are investigating how handheld devices like Palm PDAs and PocketPCs can be used as assistive technologies for computer access by people with motor impairments such as Muscular Dystrophy and Cerebral Palsy. As part of this research, we are developing new input techniques for handheld text entry. People with motor impairments suffer from symptoms that affect their ability to use conventional t...
متن کاملHandheld Acoustic Filter Bank for Musical Control
This paper introduces the design of a handheld musical input device that produces control data by measuring, and analyzing, the resonances of carefully tuned pipes. The device provides input control information to several virtual reed instruments running in parallel, responsible for producing the sound. Inspired by the khaen, a musical instrument from Northeast Thailand and Laos, the controller...
متن کاملMotion marking menus: An eyes-free approach to motion input for handheld devices
The increasing complexity of applications on handheld devices requires the development of rich new interaction methods specifically designed for resource-limited mobile use contexts. One appealingly convenient approach to this problem is to use device motions as input, a paradigm in which the currently dominant interaction metaphors are gesture recognition and visually mediated scrolling. Howev...
متن کاملVisual-Geometric Scene Reconstruction from Image Streams
Visual-geometric scene reconstructions capture the visual appearance and geometry of real 3D scenes from image streams. Depending on the type of camera motion and type of scene structure, either 2D od 3D representations can be used. From the representations one can render new views of the scene with high degree of realism. Recently we see a lot of research in this field, especially for the case...
