ABSTRACT
We introduce eyeglasses that present haptic feedback when using gaze gestures for input. The glasses utilize vibrotactile actuators to provide gentle stimulation to three locations on the user's head. We describe two initial user studies that were conducted to evaluate the easiness of recognizing feedback locations and participants' preferences for combining the feedback with gaze gestures. The results showed that feedback from a single actuator was the easiest to recognize and also preferred when used with gaze gestures. We conclude by presenting future use scenarios that could benefit from gaze gestures and haptic feedback.

Using gaze gestures with haptic feedback on glasses
NordiCHI '14: Proceedings of the 8th Nordic Conference on Human-Computer Interaction: Fun, Fast, FoundationalWearable computing devices are gradually becoming common, and head-mounted devices such as Google Glass are already available. These devices present new interaction challenges as the devices are usually small in size, and also the usage environment sets ...
Vibrotactile stimulation of the head enables faster gaze gestures
Gaze gestures are a promising input technology for wearable devices especially in the smart glasses form factor because gaze gesturing is unobtrusive and leaves the hands free for other tasks. We were interested in how gaze gestures can be enhanced with ...
