Enabling touch gesture sensing on all surfaces of the mobile device, not limited to the
touchscreen area, leads to new user interaction experiences. In this paper, we propose …

The study aimed to determine the interactive effects of smartphone use on hand grip
strength as well as functional hand performance in young people. The evolution of …

Previous research and recent smartphone development presented a wide range of input
controls beyond the touchscreen. Fingerprint scanners, silent switches, and Back-of-Device …

Touchscreens are the most successful input method for smartphones. Despite their flexibility,
touch input is limited to the location of taps and gestures. We present PalmTouch, an …

Smartphones are the most successful mobile devices and offer intuitive interaction through
touchscreens. Current devices treat all fingers equally and only sense touch contacts on the …

In the last years, touchscreens became the most common input device for a wide range of
computers. While touchscreens are truly pervasive, commercial devices reduce the richness …

Gesture recognition on the back surface of mobile phone, not limited to the touch screen, is
an enabling Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) mechanism which enriches the user …

Touchscreens enable intuitive mobile interaction. However, touch input is limited to 2D touch
locations which makes it challenging to provide shortcuts and secondary actions similar to …

A finger held in the air exhibits microvibrations, which are reduced when it touches a static
object. When a finger moves along a surface, the friction between them produces vibrations …

When an object is interposed between a touch surface and a finger/touch pen, the change in
impedance caused by the object can be measured by the driver software. This phenomenon …
