abstract = {Mobile augmented reality is used in research and many commercial applications. Handheld-based AR has been widely investigated. Interacting in 3D space, however, has shortcomings when interacting along the depth axis on a flat 2D display. This paper presents the concept of FoldAR, which uses the two screen parts of foldable smartphones to display a camera view and a map view. With foldable smartphones users can spatially align the display's two parts with the dimensions of interaction. This allows to manipulate objects on two differently oriented screen parts within all three dimensions at once. We contribute a prototype and discuss possibilities and applications.},

abstract = {Rotary knobs are used on many devices. However, while we enrich the functionalities of smart devices, controlling such functionalities by using the rotation as sole input appears to be rather limited. Therefore, we created a physical rotary controller which enriches the input capabilities of a rotary knob, called MultiKnob. It takes the count of applied fingers as an input parameter for multiplexing rotation. The paper discusses three iterations of our prototyping: Beginning with an attempt to extend an existing rotary controller using conductive paint, to the development of several conductive 3D printed prototypes for use on a smartphone display, to a cylinder sensing multi-touch based on infrared light. We discuss possible applications and limitations of a knob which allows to recognize a user's grasp.},

abstract = {With advances of new technologies there is a growing interest in augmenting human senses with sensory information. This paper aims at using electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) to support sensing the proximity of objects. We propose a concept relating distance to properties of electrical muscle stimulation. Our study provides first evidence that our approach can be used to convey information on the proximity of objects to users of the EMS system. We report on the correlations between a simulated proximity and the proximity felt based on EMS. Based on this we propose fields of applications which can benefit from such a system. Our approach can be used where people need to be notified with regard to spatial information, e.g., dangerous objects approaching from behind.},

abstract = {Autonomous vacuum cleaning robots often miss small spots of dirty areas which in turn have to be cleaned manually. This leads to shortcomings of autonomous cleaning assistants. However, a robot’s cleaning process can be improved by using information about which areas have been vacuumed manually. By learning which spots are repeatedly gone over by humans and can lead to a mixed-initiative interaction between the human and robots. We developed a prototype of a handheld vacuum cleaner which can track the areas which it is used it for cleaning by the very human. This work-in-progress paper contributes our mixed-initiative approach of vacuuming and a technical prototype. We also discuss further steps and evaluating the prototype.},

One core question is how to learn from user behavior to gain smartness that can be adopted by the system. This paper has a twofold contribution: first, we propose a new approach for letting smart homes learn collaboratively. Second, we present a prototype implementation and discuss challenges learned from this version. This approach should serve as an initiator for the development of intelligent smart home systems outside isolated solutions and on the basis of human needs.},
