Motion-based hand gesture recognition using a wearable motion sensor equipped on the wrist-band helps decreasing recognition errors compared with that of video-based recognition systems. However, the user interaction is often interrupted even in the low-error conditions because an inappropriate gesture recognition mode is applied on the system or user can't find out how to handle it using gestures. We propose a novel gesture interaction technique using visual attention to suggest user an appropriate gesture on the condition of selectable contents on the screen. We applied this interaction method on the content navigation interface for the TV and found it essential to realize natural and intuitive gesture interactions.","PeriodicalId":110421,"journal":{"name":"ISWC '14 Adjunct","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116104969","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To create a healthier lifestyle it is important to prevent stress related illnesses. The goal of this project is to make people aware of their state of mind and conscious of how they feel. Twiny is an elastic bracelet that gathers physical parameters through sensors: connecting emotions to physical state, Twiny gives the possibility to learn how to control mood, organizing time and trying to make people feel comfortable. Matching feelings data with calendar and health state, Twiny is able to build a grid of feelings, suggesting how to react to a bad mood or, for instance a constant migraine. Twiny attempts to correlate data down to every physical rash caused from stress to the body. Making people aware of their unconscious feelings will help them build a better lifestyle.

The values of a smart garment with a variety of reconfigurable modular units include customization between wearers and tasks, ease in replacing parts and/or updating components for both replacement and testing and flexibility in prototyping and eventually manufacturing.
