title = "ThumbSlide: An interaction technique for smartwatches using a thumb slide movement",
abstract = "We present ThumbSlide, which is an interaction technique for a smartwatch that prevents occlusion caused by the user's finger; the technique realizes continuous manipulation by estimating the moving amount of the thumb. Combining with any determining operation (e.g., clench of the hand), our technique enables the user to select a target by only the hand that is wearing a smartwatch. Our system estimates the moving amount of the thumb by muscles' expansion caused by its movement. The muscle expansion is measured by a specially designed wrist-worn sensor device. Moreover, the device can recognize the clench of the hand as an instantaneous change of the wrist's contour. In this paper, we show the implementation of ThumbSlide and its example applications.",
