Physical Fatigue Modelling and Manipulation for Mid-Air Interactions

Yi Li is visiting us as part of a third-party project from Monash University, Melbourne, Australia. Yi has a background in biomechanical modeling, focusing on ergonomics and fatigue during freehand interaction.

Abstract

Multi-touch surface gestures have become the dominant mode of computer interaction, and 3D mid-air gestures hold similar promise for the future of spatial computing. One vital aspect in designing such experiences is to present users with an engaging embodied experience without tiring them through excessive activity. Furthermore, the required level of exertion must be tuned to the specific application. Thus, it will be helpful for designers to have access to tools that can help them manage the exertion level of a particular activity to optimize the interaction. In this talk, Yi will present physical fatigue models and interaction techniques for an ergonomic-friendly XR experience.
