ABSTRACT
In this paper, we propose a new interaction technique, called BandSense, which allows pressure-sensitive multi-touch interaction on a wristband. The proposed method provides users with a broader interaction area and higher input expressiveness, enabling a precision interaction with a less occlusion. To illustrate the potential of our approach, we present a series of example applications with several input vocabularies. We also describe the overall architecture of our system. We believe that our technique would greatly help users control a smartwatch easily and conveniently.

PressTact: Side Pressure-Based Input for Smartwatch Interaction
CHI EA '16: Proceedings of the 2016 CHI Conference Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing SystemsSmartwatches have gained a lot of public interest as one of the most popular wearable devices in recent times, but their diminutive touch screens mar the user experiences. The small screen of watch suffers from visual occlusion and the fat finger ...
Exploring tilt for no-touch, wrist-only interactions on smartwatches
MobileHCI '16: Proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction with Mobile Devices and ServicesBecause smartwatches are worn on the wrist, they do not require users to hold the device, leaving at least one hand free to engage in other activities. Unfortunately, this benefit is thwarted by the typical interaction model of smartwatches; for ...
Extending interaction for smart watches: enabling bimanual around device control
CHI EA '14: CHI '14 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing SystemsThe size of a smart watch limits the available interactive surface for the user. Most current smart watches use a combination of a touch screen and physical buttons. Unfortunately, a small touch screen's usability is limited when it can be easily ...
