ABSTRACT
We present a design space for interaction with a ring, worn on the user's finger. Whilst prior work has studied the ring as a means of attachment for hand motion sensors, we investigate the interaction possibilities provided by the natural affordance of the ring form factor itself. Interactions include, for example, changing the placement of the ring on the fingers, moving the ring along or around a finger and spinning of the ring on a surface.

Investigating interaction with a ring form factor
MUM '17: Proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous MultimediaIn this note, we study interaction with a finger worn ring, focusing on interaction enabled by the ring form factor. We report on 2 user studies, the first (n=13) investigating preferences for different interactions, whilst the second (n=7) explores ...
Ring x2: Designing Gestures for Smart Rings using Temporal Calculus
DIS '18 Companion: Proceedings of the 2018 ACM Conference Companion Publication on Designing Interactive SystemsWe introduce "Ring×2," a design space for gesture input with two smart rings. Wearing two rings at once opens new input opportunities, unexplored by the community so far, such as bimanual ring gestures or shifting input from one smart ring to the other ...
Body-centric interaction with mobile devices
TEI '12: Proceedings of the Sixth International Conference on Tangible, Embedded and Embodied InteractionMost current mobile technologies require on-screen operations for interacting with devices' visual contents. However, as a trade-off for mobility, screens usually provide limited space for interactions. To address this problem, I explore Body-Centric ...
