Head mounted displays are often used in many situations where the hands of an user may be occupied or otherwise unusable due to situational or permanent movement impairments. Hands-free interaction is critical for making mixed reality applications versatile and accessible in head mounted displays. Traditionally, hands-free interaction relies on voice, which is not private and unusable in loud environments; or gaze, which is slow and demands attention. In this talk, I will propose a non-intrusive tongue gesture interface using sensors in head mounted displays that can be used either independently or in conjunction with gaze tracking to reduce its limitations. Then, I will share gesture recognition results as well as usability metrics from an experimental study and demonstrate a system combining tongue gestures with gaze tracking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
