Demo abstract: Use the force, Luke: Implementation of RF-based gesture interaction on an android phone

Abstract

Various approaches exist to detect gestures and movements via smartphones. Most of them, however, require that the smartphone is carried on-body. The abscence of reliable ad-hoc on-line gesture detection from environmental sources inspired this project for on-line hand gesture detection on a smartphone using only WiFi RSSI. We highlight our line of work and explain problems at hand to provide information for possible future work. We will furthermore introduce wifiJedi, a smartphone application, that is able to detect movement in front of the smartphone by reading the WiFi RSSI and use this information to control a Slideshow.
