ABSTRACT
In mobile interaction, the use of touchscreen interaction, while beneficial from the perspective of portability, has limited spatial accuracy due to the "fat finger problem". As a result, an important challenge on mobile interaction is to find solutions to balance the size of individual widgets against the number of widgets needed during interaction. In this work, to address display space limitations, we explore the design of invisible off-screen toolbars (ether-toolbars) that leverage computer vision to expand application features by placing widgets adjacent to the display screen. We demonstrate a prototype system consisting of an inexpensive 3D printed mount for mirror that supports ether-toolbar implementations.

PalmSpace: continuous around-device gestures vs. multitouch for 3D rotation tasks on mobile devices
AVI '12: Proceedings of the International Working Conference on Advanced Visual InterfacesRotating 3D objects is a difficult task on mobile devices, because the task requires 3 degrees of freedom and (multi-)touch input only allows for an indirect mapping. We propose a novel style of mobile interaction based on mid-air gestures in proximity ...
Exploring Boundless Scroll by Extending Motor Space
MobileHCI '15: Proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction with Mobile Devices and ServicesThis paper explores the Boundless Scroll interface that extends the motor space for finger drag motions into the off-screen space using a tracking system around the screen. Seamlessly extended motor spaces enable continuous scroll actions across the on- ...
