Capacitive proximity sensors (CPSs) are ubiquitous because of their simple design, low cost
and low consumption. Capacitive displacement sensing, as one of the three sensing …

This paper offers an HCI perspective on the emergent agenda of the Internet of Things (IoT).
The purpose is to provide insights and resources for how HCI could engage productively …

For more than two decades, capacitive sensing has played a prominent role in human-
computer interaction research. Capacitive sensing has become ubiquitous on mobile …

To create applications for smart environments we can select from a huge variety of sensors
that measure environmental parameters or detect activities of different actors within the …

Platypus is the first system to localize and identify people by remotely and passively sensing
changes in their body electric potential which occur naturally during walking. While it uses …

Smart objects within instrumented environments offer an always available and intuitive way
of interacting with a system. Connecting these objects to other objects in range or even to …

Proximity sensing is a major requirement for intelligent robots and robotic arms to ensure
safety and closed-loop control in human–robot interactions. E-skins have received …

We contribute a thin, transparent, and low-cost design for electric field sensing, allowing for
3D finger and hand tracking and gestures on mobile devices. Our approach requires no …

Hover, touch, and force are promising input modalities that get increasingly integrated into
screens and everyday objects. However, these interactions are often limited to flat surfaces …

Unobtrusiveness has been highlighted as an important design principle in Human-
Computer Interaction (HCI). However, the understanding of unobtrusiveness in the literature …
