“…systems like the Zypad, "WatchPad", etc. to name a few [5], [6], [7], [8]), but have not addressed vibro-tactile stimulation for non-disruptive communication up until now. [9] generally addresses user distraction as a factor which may mask or obscure vibrotactile perception.…”

Vibro-tactile stimulation has been revealed as a potentially effective means to deliver spontaneous notifications like alerts to recipients that are focused on other tasks (although only at very low bit rates, and depending on the place at which the tactors are placed). This work addresses the issue of the amount of information that can be perceived via stimuli coming from wrist worn tactors, given the recipient is not expecting or attentive to the potential occurrence of an alert. Assuming apparel like wrist watches with embedded tactors to represent the alert delivery platform, we investigaterespecting physiognomical properties of tactile perceptionthe effectiveness of different tactor placements. We compare the case of embedding 4 tactors underneath the "face" of the wrist watch, against the case of embedding it into the wristband ("wrist"). A user study of 1,823 trials has been conducted involving recipients exposed to different levels of engagement in a certain activity. The experiments show, that the amount of information perceived via spontaneous tactile alerts ranges from 1.90-2.49 bits at low, to 1.59-2.41 bits at high levels of engagement. The "wrist" tactor placement achieves a 41.6 % higher perception bit rate than the "face" tactor placement.

“…Ideas from Skinput [3] and Gesture Watch [5] have been further developed and combined. A prototype has been constructed that can detect six different distinct gestures and uses a combination of infra-red sensors, ultrasound sensors and a piezoelectric sensor.…”

“…BodyScan [8] relies on radio waves to sense human activities and vital signs. GestureWatch [21] and HoverFlow [22] are both systems that recognize in-air hand gestures performed over mobile or wearable devices relying on infrared proximity sensors. Hand gestures can also be recognized from a single RGB camera found on most mobile devices [40].…”

Many real-life scenarios can benefit from both physical proximity and natural gesture interaction. In this paper, we explore shared collocated interactions on unmodified wearable devices. We introduce an interaction technique which enables a small group of people to interact using natural gestures. The proximity of users and devices is detected through acoustic ranging using inaudible signals, while in-air hand gestures are recognized from threeaxis accelerometers. The underlying wireless communication between the devices is handled over Bluetooth for scalability and extensibility. We present (1) an overview of the interaction technique and (2) an extensive evaluation using unmodified, off-the-shelf, mobile, and wearable devices which show the feasibility of the method. Finally, we demonstrate the resulting design space with three examples of multi-user application scenarios.
