The skin offers exciting possibilities for human--computer interaction by enabling new types
of input and feedback. We survey 42 research papers on interfaces that allow users to give …

Global difficulties, such as rising healthcare costs and staff shortages, have accelerated the
transition to new wearable technologies in place of traditional healthcare services. With …

People increasingly use smartwatches in tandem with other devices such as smartphones,
laptops or tablets. This allows for novel cross-device applications that use the watch as both …

Although smartwatches are gaining popularity among mainstream consumers, the input
space is limited due to their small form factor. The goal of this work is to explore how to …

Around-device interaction methods expand the available interaction space for mobile
devices; however, there is currently no way to simultaneously track a user's input and …

We present zPatch: an eTextile patch for hover, touch, and pressure input, using both
resistive and capacitive sensing. zPatches are made by layering a piezo-resistive material …

User interactions with smartwatches are limited due to one-finger usage on small touch
screens. However, smartwatch interaction capabilities can be extended beyond the screen …

The human skin provides an ample, always-on surface for input to smart watches, mobile
phones, and remote displays. Using touch on bare skin to issue commands, however …

The small display size of the smartwatches makes it difficult to display large amounts of
information on the device. Prior work explored leveraging a second device (eg, Head …

Smartwatches are widely available and increasingly adopted by consumers. The most
common way of interacting with smartwatches is either touching a screen or pressing …
