“…Therefore, it might be advantageous to apply the device as a controller in direct contexts, such as interacting with large displays [20] or for controlling rapid visualisation techniques for dynamic real-time process imaging [ [27], semi-automatic data analysis [28] [29] and crowdsourcing analysis of industrial images [30] [31]. High precision of the movement processing may be employed for mapping the movements of users' forearm onto other kinds of motile devices, such as drones and robots [32]. Further investigation is advocated in the field of ergonomics and potential consequences of long-term operation of the armband, as mid-air interaction pose several challenges in terms of arm fatigue, as signified in [33].…”

This paper investigates the potential of using an electromyographic gesture recognition armband as an everyday companion for operating mobile devices in awareness-requiring contexts and suggests the fields, in which further developments are advisable. The Myo armband from Thalmic Labs is a fully functional motion controller, based on gesture recognition through EMG muscle sensing. The device has been applied for audio control, and the usability and relevance of the gestural interaction have been examined. Participants were asked to operate on a recording while cycling, and a reference group performed similar task in leisure context. The gathered answers suggest decent potential of gestural interaction manner for environments requiring high visual attention, eg. driving or cycling. However, the current state of the solution acts in too sensitive way, as processing numerous misinterpreted gestures highly decreases the system's usability. Moreover, gestures employed are perceived as too apparent and intrusive for social interactions.

“…For example, studies ranged from exploring ways to navigate/control a drone using body gestures [ Obaid et al (2016a) ; Cauchard et al (2015) ; Ng and Sharlin (2011) ], to utilising visual representations held/projected by drones [ Scheible and Funk (2016) ; Schneegass et al (2014) ; Romanowski et al (2017) ].…”

“…The field generally started by investigating novel interaction approaches such as defining visual representations of a drone Szafir et al (2015), designing ways for motion control [Obaid et al (2016a); Walker et al (2018)], exploring social body motions Cauchard et al (2016), or defining interpersonal spaces Yeh et al (2017). In parallel, researchers have looked at utilizing drones in several application domains [see Obaid et al (2020a)], such as entertainment Rubens et al (2020), sports [Romanowski et al (2017); Mueller and Muirhead (2015)], domestic companions Karjalainen et al (2017), local services [Obaid et al (2015b); Knierim et al (2018)], videography Chen et al (2018), art Kim and Landay (2018), and more. A recent review by Baytas et al (2019) on designing drones, suggests that drone application domains that target domestic-human environments can be defined as "social drones".…”

Education is one of the major application fields in social Human-Robot Interaction. Several forms of social robots have been explored to engage and assist students in the classroom environment, from full-bodied humanoid robots to tabletop robot companions, but flying robots have been left unexplored in this context. In this paper, we present seven online remote workshops conducted with 20 participants to investigate the application area of Education in the Human-Drone Interaction domain; particularly focusing on what roles a social drone could fulfill in a classroom, how it would interact with students, teachers and its environment, what it could look like, and what would specifically differ from other types of social robots used in education. In the workshops we used online collaboration tools, supported by a sketch artist, to help envision a social drone in a classroom. The results revealed several design implications for the roles and capabilities of a social drone, in addition to promising research directions for the development and design in the novel area of drones in education.

“…Studies have shown that 'flying user interfaces' [6] can be used, among other things, to interact with the world around us, such as to provide assistance [2,3] and as a means to interact with other people [19,18]. Consequently, drones have the potential to significantly shape our communication landscape [5].…”

The emergence of affordable consumer drones promises new perspectives for interacting with the physical world around us. Affordable, accessible, and easy to operate drones have the potential to overcome geographic boundaries between users living in different locations and subsequently foster connectedness. Yet, the design space of using drones to facilitate social interactions beyond geographic boundaries is still underexplored. In this position paper, we envision principles derived from the concept of lucid engagement and the psychological need for connectedness to explore how drones can mediate social interactions. We introduce our design concept and discuss it based on a specific application scenario. We discuss the opportunities and challenges related to our interaction concept. Finally, we outline next steps for future research.
