Abstract

Smartwatches are a promising new interactive platform, but their small size makes even basic actions cumbersome. Hence, there is a great need for approaches that expand the interactive envelope around smartwatches, allowing human input to escape the small physical confines of the device. We propose using tiny projectors integrated into the smartwatch to render icons on the user's skin. These icons can be made touch sensitive, significantly expanding the interactive region without increasing device size. Through a series of experiments, we show that these 'skin buttons' can have high touch accuracy and recognizability, while being low cost and power-efficient.
皮肤按钮:便宜,小,低功率,可点击的固定图标激光投影仪
智能手表是一个很有前途的新型互动平台,但它的体积太小,甚至连基本的操作都很麻烦。因此,我们非常需要一种方法来扩展智能手表的交互范围,让人类的输入摆脱设备狭小的物理限制。我们建议使用集成在智能手表中的微型投影仪在用户皮肤上呈现图标。这些图标可以是触敏的,在不增加设备尺寸的情况下显著扩大了交互区域。通过一系列实验,我们证明这些“皮肤按钮”具有较高的触摸精度和可识别性,同时成本低,节能。
