“…The user can concentrate on the feedback from appliances, but remote controls. The advantage of our approach partially resembles that of "eyes-free" approach [4,5,6] for many people including visually-impaired persons and elder people. Particularly for using mobile and wearable computers, input or output problems occur due to limited screen space and interaction techniques.…”

Abstract. This paper describes a novel remote control operable with stroking its surface. Advantages of the developed remote control are high familiarity and stroke operation. Those enable users to have familiarity with it and to use it without looking at the fingers. We apply it to an interaction system with TV. The proposed system has the tolerance for mistakes in comparison with conventional button-based remote controls because it enables unfamiliar users to home electric appliances to use it casually without fear of mistakes and unexpected behavior.

A simple technique which changes regular headphones into input-and-output devices is proposed. It detects headphone taps and also captures user's voice. Two prototypes are implemented. Users can control music players and have phone conversation via their favorite headphones without attaching external switches or microphones. We confirm that they work well with many headphones in various environments.

This paper describes a pet-like remote control called Rebo for home appliances and TVs. Rebo has three new advantages over conventional remote controls: user-friendliness, function awareness, and functional manipulation by stroking touch panels. Its pet-like presence and facial expressions make it seem friendly to users. Its function awareness makes users easily aware of its functions through expressive feedback that informs them of the meaning of their manipulations by showing part of the function that is to be executed. The ability to manipulate its functions by stroking it like one would do a pet also enables users to use Rebo without having to look for buttons to push. We conducted experiments in which we monitored the eye movements of users while they operated Rebo and another remote control and administered questionnaires to users afterwards. The experimental results revealed significant aspects of Rebo and confirmed its advantages.
