Reduce Cyberslacking and Increase Physical Activity with a tap, a click or a Kick (IMAGE)

Professor Daniel Vogel presents Tap-Kick-Click: Foot Interaction for a Standing Desk at the Association for Computing Machinery's Designing Interactive Systems 2016 in Brisbane, Australia today. The idea behind the research project, conducted with Master's student William Saunders, is that computer users at standing desks can increase their physical activity through indirect, discrete two-foot input using combinations of kicks, foot taps, jumps, and standing postures which are tracked using a depth camera and instrumented shoes. Tap-Kick-Click interaction enables (a) physically and productive "foot input only" breaks; (b) increased physical activity with mouse and keyboard input; (c) and, as a way to self-control cyberslacking.
