Pleased to welcome @mosesakashita to the team! Excited to work together and take HCI + AI research forward at Fujitsu Research.
I’m thrilled to announce that I successfully completed my PhD at Cornell University in August and am starting an exciting new chapter as an HCI researcher at Fujitsu Research of America (@fujitsulabs) today! 😊

@twi_mar @GarrethTigwell @hmltn @mike_crabb Very interesting thread. +1 on swiping. We found that using a multimodal pinch swiping + passive gaze approach leads to high speeds and significantly lower arm fatigue.
Can gaze be used implicitly to enhance XR typing? We answer this in our #IUI2023 paper "Gaze Speedup: Eye Gaze Assisted Gesture Typing in Virtual Reality" being presented tomorrow by @MaozhengZhao! Work in collab w/ A. Pierce, R. Tan, T. Zhang, T. Wang, @trjonker, @hrvojebenko

The key lies in using gaze not as an explicit input, but as an implicit channel that is fused with hand input, where gaze is used only when it is a useful signal. Our method reduces the amount of hand movement the user needs to do by 33% without impacting speed or accuracy.

@leesang627 Unfortunately, no Quest Pro demos are planned afaik. We do have a cool haptics squeezeband demo though!

Mid-air pinch detection is noisy, especially when being detected via low-power solutions like wrist IMUs. We propose boosting the accuracy using hand motion dynamics that precede a pinch when performing point and select. Our TCN model showed improved pinch precision by 11%
