Pseudo sensor: Emulation of Input Modality by Repurposing Sensors on Mobile D...Sungjae Hwang
We present a new approach, called PseudoSensor, which emulates otherwise inaccessible input modality by repurposing the existing sensors in mobile devices. In order to demonstrate our concept, eight applications are introduced in this thesis. NailSense and CamPress are interaction techniques that repurpose a camera sensor to emulate a pressure sensor. MicPen and PseudoButton are software solutions that repurpose a microphone to determine pressures exerted by users. ForceTouch and VibPress are software techniques that repurpose an accelerometer sensor to determine the level of pressure users apply to a mobile device. MagGetz and MagPen are software techniques that repurpose a magnetometer sensor to determine the level of pressure users exert on various types of input widgets. These applications explore the possibilities of emulating an input modality, focusing especially on emulating pressure sensors, which current mobile devices do not possess. By testing a series of applications and showing the results of user studies, we demonstrate the feasibility of our approach and the fact that the empirical evidence indicates high levels of performances. Finally, we distill our concept into a unified guideline and formalize it using some basic elements.
