We describe a proximity detection method that leverages the internal magnetic field sensors in smart phones and smart watches to allow reliable, robust detection of proximity to predefined regions of interest within a 30-50cm radius. For marking the regions, low cost, unobtrusive, easily deployable magnetic field beacons have been implemented. We evaluate our system in 5 different use cases in ...

Watches bene�t from a long design history. Designers and engineers have successfully built devices using rotary physical inputs such as crowns, bezels, and wheels, separately or combined. Smart watch designers have explored the use of some of these inputs for interactions. However, a systematic exploration of their combinations has yet to be done. We investigate the design space of interactions...

Ensuring safe and efficient mobility is a critical issue for smart city operators. Increasing safety not only reduces the likelihood of road injuries and fatalities, but also reduces traffic congestion and disruptions caused by accidents, increasing efficiency. While new vehicles are increasingly equipped with semi-automation, the added costs will initially limit the penetration rate of these s...

With the introduction of smart watches and their recent commercial success evident with the Samsung Galaxy Gear and the Pebble Smart Watch, the question has been posed as to whether these devices can be implemented successfully in the modern digital world in the long term and provide their users with useful and viable solutions to everyday tasks using enhanced human-computer interaction (Bieber...

Overwork and mistakes in organizational management are the main reasons why people experience stress fatigue workplace. These problems entail reduced employee productivity additional costs for organizations. It is difficult a person to recognize mental overwork or burnout early stages, primarily because of subjectivity his feelings. One way diagnose health analyze physiological indicators such ...

Currently, there is a trend to promote personalized health care in order to prevent diseases or to have a healthier life. Using current devices such as smart-phones and smart-watches, an individual can easily record detailed data from her daily life. Yet, this data has been mainly used for self-tracking in order to enable personalized health care. In this paper, we provide ideas on how process ...
