Title
PseudoButton: enabling pressure-sensitive interaction by repurposing microphone on mobile device
Abstract
We propose a new interaction technique, called PseudoButton, which emulates a pressure-sensitive touch sensor by repurposing a built-in microphone on mobile devices. This simple and novel technique increases input expressivity of the device and expands its interaction area for users to alleviate the occlusion problem caused by touchscreens without adding extra sensors. To verify our idea, we implemented a prototype and conducted a preliminary evaluation on it. The results show that participants can input at accuracy of 94% for five different pressure levels with minimal error.
