Researcher proposes Thumb on Hand gestures, no touchscreen necessary (video)

Researcher proposes Thumb on Hand gestures, no touchscreen necessary (video)

Would you be willing to wear an additional device in order to avoid interacting with another. That's the conundrum posed to us by Christian Loclair, a master's student at the Hasso Plattner Institute. His thesis, titled Thumb on Hand Interaction, proposes that users control their mobile equipment with simple hand gestures that are performed independently of their device's touchscreen. This level of freedom requires that users wear a depth camera on their chest, and builds upon prior research from the Hasso Plattner Institute that required use of both hands.
