In a clever use of Doppler frequency shifts, computer scientists have shown it’s possible to use the existing WiFi signals around us to detect specific movements without needing sensors on the human body or cameras. The University of Washington researchers behind the development say that with an adapted WiFi router and a few existing wireless […]

“Paperphone” prototype demonstrates bend gesture interface
Researchers from Queen’s University in Canada have developed a prototype flexible smartphone interface that allows users to interact with applications on the phone by bending and manipulating the display. The prototype uses a 9.5 cm (diagonal) thin film flexible E Ink display that has been customized with pressure sensors that monitor the user’s actions and […]
