Title
Impact of commercial sensors in human computer interaction: a review.
Abstract
Nowadays, the communication gap between humans and computers might be reduced due to multimodal sensors available in the market. Therefore, it is important to know the specifications of these sensors and how they are being used in order to create human computer interfaces, which tackle complex tasks. The purpose of this paper is to review recent research regarding the up-to-date application areas of the following sensors: (1) Emotiv sensor, which identifies emotions, facial expressions, thoughts, and head movements from users through electroencephalography signals, (2) Leap motion controller, which recognizes hand and arm movements via vision techniques, (3) Myo armband, which identifies hand and arm movements using electromyography signals and inertial sensors, and (4) Oculus rift, which provides immersion into virtual reality to users. The application areas discussed in this manuscript go from assistive technology to virtual tours. Finally, a brief discussion regarding advantages and shortcomings of each sensor is presented.
