  16. mobile device = limited input richness 16

  17. Scratch Input++ 17

  18. Scratch Input 18

  19. Project Idea One or more microphones on underside of device 1) Localize taps around the device on an ad hoc surface 2) Listen and classify gestures being performed (non-spatial) Some combination of the two above Possible uses: Laptop, smartphone, kitchen, light switch Reach goal: couple with projector for interactive graphics Oblique from smartphone From lid of laptop 19

  20. On-Body Interfaces 20

  21. Acoustics on the Body Longitudinal (compression) waves 21

  22. Acoustics on the Body Transverse surface distortions (ripples) 22

  27. Project Idea 1.Skinput++ Entirely passive approach; better signal processing and machine learning 2.High resolution Skinput on the wrist (perhaps using accelerometers on wrist bone assembly) 3.1D (along arm) time of flight. 4.Add active elements to the skin, look at e.g., reflected signal, attenuation of particular frequencies. 5.Phase offset (receiver/transmitter pair on upper arm/wrist) 27

  28. Warning! Not for the feignt of heart! These projects need research, not just engineering Self motivated team I can advise project, but will be traveling a lot Expected end result is a publication 28

  29. Analyzing Calls for Closeness 29

  30. Project Idea Large corpus of phone calls Mine calls for acoustic features See if personal closeness of the two individuals can be predicted Example app: bootstrapping sharing/privacy settings on social networking sites 30
