Abstract
Foot-operated computer interfaces have been studied since the inception of human--computer interaction. Thanks to the miniaturisation and decreasing cost of sensing technology, there is an increasing interest exploring this alternative input modality, but no comprehensive overview of its research landscape. In this survey, we review the literature on interfaces operated by the lower limbs. We investigate the characteristics of users and how they affect the design of such interfaces. Next, we describe and analyse foot-based research prototypes and commercial systems in how they capture input and provide feedback. We then analyse the interactions between users and systems from the perspective of the actions performed in these interactions. Finally, we discuss our findings and use them to identify open questions and directions for future research.

FEETICHE: FEET Input for Contactless Hand gEsture Interaction
VRCAI '19: Proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Virtual-Reality Continuum and its Applications in IndustryFoot input has been proposed to support hand gestures in many interactive contexts, however, little attention has been given contactless 3D object manipulation. This is important since many applications, namely sterile surgical theaters require ...
Using hands and feet to navigate and manipulate spatial data
CHI EA '09: CHI '09 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing SystemsWe demonstrate how multi-touch hand gestures in combination with foot gestures can be used to perform navigation tasks in interactive systems. The geospatial domain is an interesting example to show the advantages of the combination of both modalities ...
Step by Step: Investigating Foot Gesture Interaction
AVI '16: Proceedings of the International Working Conference on Advanced Visual InterfacesA promising new way of interacting with computing devices is by using our feet. Foot interaction has the potential of being an intuitive, easy to use and enjoyable way of interaction. However, there are very few guidelines for using foot interaction, or ...
