“…Mobile communication typically occurs via phone calls and text messaging, which are difficult on a small screen on the wrist. Subsequently, many researchers are exploring better text entry for small-screen devices [13,17,44,63,65]. However, we argue that smartwatches enable opportunities for communication less focused on text.…”

We present Animo, a smartwatch app that enables people to share and view each other's biosignals. We designed and engineered Animo to explore new ground for smartwatch-based biosignals social computing systems: identifying opportunities where these systems can support lightweight and mood-centric interactions. In our work we develop, explore, and evaluate several innovative features designed for dyadic communication of heart rate. We discuss the results of a two-week study (N=34), including new communication patterns participants engaged in, and outline the design landscape for communicating with biosignals on smartwatches.

“…They also introduced additional gestures for commands like Space, Backspace, or to confirm a completed word. Gong et al [10] designed a keyboard with an optimized layout of letters controlled by tilting wrist. They optimized the distribution of keys and incorporated autocompletion to reduce the number of options to choose from when writing.…”

Underwater environments are still providing significant challenges for diver communication and interaction. Smartphones and tablets have the potential to provide great assistance for divers under water and even allow them to utilize augmented and mixed reality, but the housing solutions limit their capabilities. In particular, interaction with them cannot harness a touch screen medium. This paper presents a novel way of providing textual input in underwater environments. The concept is utilizing orientation sensors allowing for tilting a smartphone to input textual information. Three different titling configurations of keyboards were implemented and evaluated on land and in a swimming pool in a user study that involved 17 healthy volunteers and assessed their performance in two different conditions reflecting two typical diving poses. Results clearly demonstrate the benefit of this technique and suggest more effective configurations. A following discussion derives general recommendations for implementing similar methods that use tilting to interact with devices under water.

“…wrist-based interactions to keep hands-free (e.g., [44,46]); mechanical input techniques utilizing the watch faces (e.g., [143]) and non-visual gestures like covering the watch face (e.g., [102]); utilizing the wristband for multi-touch gestures (e.g., [2]) and text entry (e.g., [39,42,142]); using page flip gestures for interactions [50]; utilizing nonvocal acoustic input [49]; and, lastly, utilizing the space around the smartwatch (e.g., [52]). Kerber et al [66] compared existing mechanical inputs (bezel rotations and digital crown) and touch interactions of a smartwatch and found that users preferred the digital crown interaction over others.…”

Emerging wearable technologies like head-mounted displays (e.g., Google Glass) and wrist-worn devices (e.g., Fitbit, Apple Watch 2.0) are always available, have the potential to provide quick access to information and offer relatively hands-free interaction compared to smartphones. Additionally, they can collect continuous health and fitness-related information of their wearer. For people with disabilities, these technologies may also offer possibilities of independent use. However, people with upper body motor impairments may not be able to gain from the potential benefits that these wearables can offer. For example, challenges related to performing multi-touch gestures and text entry, may magnify as the interaction space of some wearables gets even smaller. In my dissertation, I explore the potential impacts and assess the accessibility of existing mainstream wearable technologies, including head-mounted displays, smartwatches, and fitness trackers. Consequently, I implement and evaluate accessible wearable interactions for people with motor impairments for these wearables, specifically head-mounted displays and smartwatches.
