Title
Squeezy bracelet: designing a wearable communication device for tactile interaction
Abstract
While smartphones are increasing in size and complex features, new form factors for simple communication devices are emerging. In this paper, we present the design process for a wrist worn communication device, which enables the user to send text messages over a paired mobile phone. The process includes concept design, user evaluation, design iteration, prototype implementation, and evaluation of alternative interaction techniques. Our particular focus is towards the use of naturally tactile interfaces in a wearable wristband form factor. We present how users perceive deformable communication device concepts and two alternative squeeze based interaction techniques.
