“…Examples for such interfaces include English et al's knee lever [1] and Pearson and Weiser's moles [8]. Other works employed the feet for a variety of tasks including cursor control [1,8], mode selection [9], spatial navigation [10], mobile phone control [3], command activation [11], gaming [12,13], tempo selection [14,15], user identification [16] and text input [6].…”

Abstract. We characterise foot movements as input for seated users. First, we built unconstrained foot pointing performance models in a seated desktop setting using ISO 9241-9-compliant Fitts's Law tasks. Second, we evaluated the effect of the foot and direction in one-dimensional tasks, finding no effect of the foot used, but a significant effect of the direction in which targets are distributed. Third, we compared one foot against two feet to control two variables, finding that while one foot is better suited for tasks with a spatial representation that matches its movement, there is little difference between the techniques when it does not. Fourth, we analysed the overhead caused by introducing a feetcontrolled variable in a mouse task, finding the feet to be comparable to the scroll wheel. Our results show the feet are an effective method of enhancing our interaction with desktop systems and derive a series of design guidelines.

“…Kickables [2] is another related project that introduces tangible objects that users manipulate with their feet to interact with digital content projected on the floor. A project by Paelke [3] proves that the rear camera of a smartphone can be used to capture feet movements that can be used in phone games.…”

In this paper we present a wearable device that maps natural feet movements into inputs for digital devices. KickSoul consists of an insole with sensors embedded that tracks movements and triggers actions in devices that surround us. We present a novel approach to use our feet as input devices in mobile situations when our hands are busy. We analyze natural feet's movements and their meaning before activating an action. This paper discusses different applications for this technology as well as the implementation of our prototype.

“…For example, Wagner et al implemented a marker-based augmented reality (AR) system using a self-contained hand-held device and applied it to their textual environment augmentation project [11]. Paelke et al developed a hand-held AR-based soccer game which uses a camera for detecting kicking gestures [12]. Hachet et al used a camera-equipped hand-held device as a prop for interaction in a virtual environment.…”

Interaction with large ubiquitous displays using camera-equipped mobile phones

In the ubiquitous computing environment, people will interact with everyday objects (or computers embedded in them) in ways different from the usual and familiar desktop user interface. One such typical situation is interacting with applications through large displays such as televisions, mirror displays, and public kiosks. With these applications, the use of the usual keyboard and mouse input is not usually viable (for practical reasons). In this setting, the mobile phone has emerged as an excellent device for novel interaction. This article introduces user interaction techniques using a camera-equipped hand-held device such as a mobile phone or a PDA for large shared displays. In particular, we consider two specific but typical situations (1) sharing the display from a distance and (2) interacting with a touch screen display at a close distance. Using two basic computer vision techniques, motion flow and marker recognition, we show how a camera-equipped hand-held device can effectively be used to replace a mouse and share, select, and manipulate 2D and 3D objects, and navigate within the environment presented through the large display.
