We show how body-centric sensing can be integrated in musical interface to enable more flexible gestural control. We present a barehanded body-centric interaction paradigm where users are able to interact in a spontaneous way through performing gestures. The paradigm employs a wearable camera and see-through display to enable flexible interaction in the 3D space. We designed and implemented a p...

Background: Techniques that allow early muscle activation, such as closed kinetic chain (CKC) and open kineticchain (OKC) exercises, may play a beneficial role in the early rehabilitation of the reconstructed knee. However,current rehabilitation regimens have not been shown to reverse post-operative quadriceps activation failureand weakness. To investigate whether patients who use a continuous ...

The eye is build like a small camera that projects the image of the environment on its inner wall. Instead of an electronic chip that captures the image, a light sensitive tissue layer covers the eye inside like a wall paper. It contains a dense array of photoreceptor cells which respond to light with an electrical signal. To see sharply, the projected image must be in good focus. This conditio...
