The Sensor Sleeve: Sensing Affective Gestures
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe the use of textile sensors mounted in a garment sleeve to detect affective gestures. The ‘ Sensor Sleeve’ is part of a larger project to explore the role of affect in communications. Pressure activated, capacitive and elasto-resistive sensors are investigated and their relative merits reported on. An implemented application is outlined in which a cellphone receives messages derived from the sleeve’s sensors using a Bluetooth interface, and relays the signals as text messages to the user’s nominated partner.

The Bass Sleeve: A Real-time Multimedia Gestural Controller for Augmented Electric Bass Performance
The Bass Sleeve uses an Arduino board with a combination of buttons, switches, flex sensors, force sensing resistors, and an accelerometer to map the ancillary movements of a performer to sampling, real-time audio and video processing including pitch shifting, delay, low pass filtering, and onscreen video movement. The device was created to augment the existing functions of the electric bass an...
متن کاملGesture Recognition in the Haptic Creature
Touch is an important but poorly studied aspect of emotional communication. With the Haptic Creature we are investigating fundamentals of affective touch. This small robot senses the world solely by being touched via a force-sensing resistor network, and communicates its internal state via purring, stiffening its ears and modulating its breathing and pulse. We describe the Creature’s first-gene...
متن کاملTiO2 based surface acoustic wave gas sensor with modified electrode dimensions for enhanced H2 sensing application
The design and optimization of nanostructure-based surface acoustic wave (SAW) gas sensor is analyzed based on TiO2 sensing layer and modified electrode dimensions. The sensitivity of the gas sensor depends upon the type of sensing layer used and active surface area obtained by varying the aspect ratio. The performance of the sensor is observed from 0.1ppm to 100ppm concentration of ...
متن کاملOrientation sensing for gesture-based interaction with smart artifacts
Orientation sensing is considered an important means to implement embedded technology enhanced artifacts (often referred to as ‘smart artifacts’), exhibiting embodied means of interaction based on their position, orientation, and the respective dynamics. Considering artifacts subject to manual (or ‘by-hand’) manipulation by the user, we identify hand worn, hand carried and (hand) graspable real...
متن کاملComparison of Plantar Dynamics During Four Sports Gestures in Rugby Players
Background. Four of the most relevant gestures in rugby (RU) are the pass, the tackle, the line out, and the scrum. RU is the third most common contact sport on the planet, and being a fast-paced collision game and carries a high risk of injury. Objectives. To describe and compare plantar dynamics during four sports gestures in rugby players through speed, strength, and balance. Methods. Twen...
