Abstract
Mobile and wearable interfaces try to integrate digital information into our everyday experiences but usually require more attention than is appropriate and often fail to do so in a natural and socially acceptable way. In this thesis we present "ReachMedia," a system for seamlessly providing just-in-time information for everyday objects. The system is built around a wireless wristband that detects objects that the user is interacting with and allows the use of gestures for interaction. Thus enables hands-and-eyes-free interfacing with relevant information using a unique combination of audio output and gestural input, allowing for socially acceptable, on-the-move interaction. We demonstrate that such an interaction is more natural to the user than existing mobile interfaces.
