Researchers have created sets of microgesture feasible across the entire taxonomy of everyday grasps, called transferable microgestures. However, those sets include a limited number of microgestures as compared to those for the free-hand context, for which microgestures are distinguished according to fine characteristics such as the part of the finger being touched or the number of fingers used. We provide knowledge and methods for identifying and recognizing microgestures that can transfer across contexts. First, we report a study on ergonomics factors that influence the feasibility of a microgesture in a given context. Then, we propose a conceptual model serving as a tool to determine the feasibility of a microgesture in a given context without the need for time-consuming user studies. As expected, not all microgestures were transferable to all considered contexts. Thus, we then expose two different ways of defining a set of microgestures transferable between free-hand and grasping contexts.

To address this issue, qualitative strategies such as interviews, surveys, work tables, brainstorming, observation, and user stories are commonly employed. However, mastering and utilising them effectively often takes years of experience. To simplify this process for novices (e.g., students, beginners, enthusiasts) in the field of computer science and related areas, inspired by participatory design guidelines, we devised a series of design probes that we call <em>Mirrors</em>. To explore their feasibility, we conducted two different interventions with students. In this document, we present these tools along with a methodology for their application.

We retrofit the water meters of thirty homes in the USA for infrastructure-mediated sensing. Participants are split into equal groups and receive one of the self-reporting tools. The balanced accuracy metric is transferred from the field of machine learning to the evaluation of the annotation performance. Our results show that connected buttons perform significantly better than the voice diary, with 92% median accuracy and 65% median reporting rate. Using questionnaire answers, we highlight that annotation performance is impacted by habit formation and sentiments toward the annotation tool. The use case for data annotation is to disaggregate water meter data into human activities beyond the point of use.
