JINSense: Repurposing Electrooculography Sensors on Smart Glass for Midair Gesture and Context Sensing
Extended Abstracts of the 2021 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems
Abstract
In this work, we explore a new sensing technique for smart eyewear equipped with Electrooculography (EOG) sensors. We repurpose the EOG sensors embedded in a JINS MEME smart eyewear, originally designed to detect eye movement, to detect midair hand gestures. We also explore the potential of sensing human proximity, rubbing action and to differentiate materials and objects using this sensor. This new found sensing capabilities enable a various types of novel input and interaction scenarios for such wearable eyewear device, whether it is worn on body or resting on a desk.
