ABSTRACT
Most current input devices require dedicated attention by our hands through physical transducers such as the keys on a keyboard. Similarly, computer output is dominated by visual displays requiring most of our visual attention. While keyboards and monitors are effective I/O devices for dedicated computing activities, when our primary task is not using a computer, our hands may not be free to manipulate an input device. The goal of my dissertation is to explore how on-body interfaces can better support computing in our everyday activities.

Enabling always-available input with muscle-computer interfaces
UIST '09: Proceedings of the 22nd annual ACM symposium on User interface software and technologyPrevious work has demonstrated the viability of applying offline analysis to interpret forearm electromyography (EMG) and classify finger gestures on a physical surface. We extend those results to bring us closer to using muscle-computer interfaces for ...
Comparing content and input redirection in MDEs
CSCW '08: Proceedings of the 2008 ACM conference on Computer supported cooperative workDesigners of Multi-Display Environments (MDEs) often use input redirection to allow users to manipulate content on multiple displays with a single interaction device, but users seated at sub-optimal positions (i.e., not facing the display) may find ...
BezelGlide: Interacting with Graphs on Smartwatches with Minimal Screen Occlusion
CHI '21: Proceedings of the 2021 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsWe present BezelGlide, a novel suite of bezel interaction techniques, designed to minimize screen occlusion and ‘fat finger’ effects, when interacting with common graphs on smartwatches. To explore the design of BezelGlide, we conducted two user ...
