ABSTRACT
A frequent assertion in wearable computer discussions is that WIMP (windows/icons/mouse/pointer) interfaces are inappropriate for wearable computers, in part because 2-D (two-dimensional) pointing is difficult while walking. This paper summarizes findings from user studies conducted by Tangis Corporation on the usability of pointing devices for wearable computers. The author finds that, with changes, 2-D pointing could be an adequate interim solution.

A pointing method using accelerometers for graphical user interfaces
AH '12: Proceedings of the 3rd Augmented Human International ConferenceGraphical User Interfaces (GUIs) are widely used and pointing devices are required to operate most of them. We have proposed Xangle, a pointing method using two accelerometers for wearable computing environments. The cursor is positioned at the ...

The Research of Differences in Hip Angle between Treadmill Walking and Ground Walking
ISCID '14: Proceedings of the 2014 Seventh International Symposium on Computational Intelligence and Design - Volume 01Analyzing the hip rotation angle data of several healthy young men with walking on ground and treadmill, it is found that the hip rotation angle curves of treadmill walking and level walking exist no significant differences in shape, while the amplitude,...
