- Abstract
- Although research on wearable computing is in fashion, few researches pay attentions on interface of wearable computers. This paper presents "Hand-Menu" System", an innovative input interface suitable for wearable computers, utilizing augmented realty techniques. Users can handle wearable computers by clicking a menu activated simply activated with exposed hand with another hand. As Hand-Menu is a "Deviceless" hand I/O interface, Hand-Menu is instant, place-independent and intuitive interface. Additionally, solidity on virtual menu given by tactile feedback from real finger used as a clicking target promotes users' reliability of Hand-Menu.
