ThumbTrak is a novel wearable input device that recognizes 12 micro-finger poses in real-time. Poses are characterized by the thumb touching each of the 12 phalanges on the hand. It uses a thumb-ring, built with a flexible printed circuit board, which hosts nine proximity sensors. Each sensor measures the distance from the thumb to various parts of the palm or other fingers. ThumbTrak uses a support-vector-machine (SVM) model to classify finger poses based on distance measurements in real-time. A user study with ten participants showed that ThumbTrak could recognize 12 micro finger poses with an average accuracy of 93.6%. We also discuss potential opportunities and challenges in applying ThumbTrak in real-world applications.

Teeth gestures become an alternative input modality for different situations and accessibility purposes. In this paper, we present TeethTap, a novel eyes-free and hands-free input technique, which can recognize up to 13 discrete teeth tapping gesture
s. TeethTap adopts a wearable 3D printed earpiece with an IMU sensor and a contact microphone behind both ears, which works in tandem to detect jaw movement and sound data, respectively. TeethTap uses a support vector machine to classify gestures from noise by fusing acoustic and motion data, and implements K-Nearest-Neighbor (KNN) with a Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) distance measurement using motion data for gesture classification. A user study with 11 participants demonstrated that TeethTap could recognize 13 gestures with a real-time classification accuracy of 90.9% in a laboratory environment. We further uncovered the accuracy differences on different teeth gestures when having sensors on single vs. both sides. Moreover, we explored the activation gesture under real-world environments, including eating, speaking, walking and jumping. Based on our findings, we further discussed potential applications and practical challenges of integrating TeethTap into future devices.
With the ubiquity of touchscreens, touch input modality has become a popular way of interaction. However, current touchscreen technology is limiting in its design as it restricts touch interactions to specially instrumented touch surfaces. Surface co
ntaminants like water can also hinder proper interactions. In this paper, we propose the use of magnetic field sensing to enable finger tracking on a surface with minimal instrumentation. Our system, MagSurface, turns everyday surfaces into a touch medium, thus allowing more flexibility in the types of touch surfaces. The evaluation of our system consists of quantifying the accuracy of the system in locating an object on 2D flat surfaces. We test our system on three different surface materials to validate its usage scenarios. A qualitative user experience study was also conducted to get feedback on the ease of use and comfort of the system. Localization error as low as a few millimeters was achieved
As a spontaneous expression of emotion on face, micro-expression reveals the underlying emotion that cannot be controlled by human. In micro-expression, facial movement is transient and sparsely localized through time. However, the existing represent
ation based on various deep learning techniques learned from a full video clip is usually redundant. In addition, methods utilizing the single apex frame of each video clip require expert annotations and sacrifice the temporal dynamics. To simultaneously localize and recognize such fleeting facial movements, we propose a novel end-to-end deep learning architecture, referred to as adaptive key-frame mining network (AKMNet). Operating on the video clip of micro-expression, AKMNet is able to learn discriminative spatio-temporal representation by combining spatial features of self-learned local key frames and their global-temporal dynamics. Theoretical analysis and empirical evaluation show that the proposed approach improved recognition accuracy in comparison with state-of-the-art methods on multiple benchmark datasets.
This paper presents our recent development on a portable and refreshable text reading and sensory substitution system for the blind or visually impaired (BVI), called Finger-eye. The system mainly consists of an opto-text processing unit and a compac
t electro-tactile based display that can deliver text-related electrical signals to the fingertip skin through a wearable and Braille-dot patterned electrode array and thus delivers the electro-stimulation based Braille touch sensations to the fingertip. To achieve the goal of aiding BVI to read any text not written in Braille through this portable system, in this work, a Rapid Optical Character Recognition (R-OCR) method is firstly developed for real-time processing text information based on a Fisheye imaging device mounted at the finger-wearable electro-tactile display. This allows real-time translation of printed text to electro-Braille along with natural movement of users fingertip as if reading any Braille display or book. More importantly, an electro-tactile neuro-stimulation feedback mechanism is proposed and incorporated with the R-OCR method, which facilitates a new opto-electrotactile feedback based text line tracking control approach that enables text line following by user fingertip during reading. Multiple experiments were designed and conducted to test the ability of blindfolded participants to read through and follow the text line based on the opto-electrotactile-feedback method. The experiments show that as the result of the opto-electrotactile-feedback, the users were able to maintain their fingertip within a $2mm$ distance of the text while scanning a text line. This research is a significant step to aid the BVI users with a portable means to translate and follow to read any printed text to Braille, whether in the digital realm or physically, on any surface.
Data credibility is a crucial issue in mobile crowd sensing (MCS) and, more generally, people-centric Internet of Things (IoT). Prior work takes approaches such as incentive mechanism design and data mining to address this issue, while overlooking th
e power of crowds itself, which we exploit in this paper. In particular, we propose a cross validation approach which seeks a validating crowd to verify the data credibility of the original sensing crowd, and uses the verification result to reshape the original sensing dataset into a more credible posterior belief of the ground truth. Following this approach, we design a specific cross validation mechanism, which integrates four sampling techniques with a privacy-aware competency-adaptive push (PACAP) algorithm and is applicable to time-sensitive and quality-critical MCS applications. It does not require redesigning a new MCS system but rather functions as a lightweight plug-in, making it easier for practical adoption. Our results demonstrate that the proposed mechanism substantially improves data credibility in terms of both reinforcing obscure truths and scavenging hidden truths.
