On-body and Out-of-Body Interactions
Speaker: Jessica R. Cauchard – Vienna, AustriaTopic(s): Human Computer Interaction
Abstract
Mobile devices have become ubiquitous to our everyday life, changing the way we behave, and interact with technology and with one another. While initially carried in our hands and pockets, mobile technologies are changing form to fit our lifestyles, enabling interactions on-body (e.g., wearables) and out-of-body (e.g., robots and drones). Yet, interfaces are traditionally bound by form factor, so that on-body ones cater for wearables that remain on the person’s body, and out-of-body interfaces are built to interact at arm’s reach;
In this lecture, I present how diverse device form factors influence how people interact with technologies and highlight how multiple modalities – from audio and visual interfaces to haptics – can be leveraged to support natural human-machine interaction. In particular, I will describe opportunities for future technology development by transitioning between the two states (on-body and out-of-body), therefore enabling novel applications, such as extending one’s physical abilities.
