Conference Paper
We seek to make physical user interface (PHUI) design more like graphical user interface (GUI) design by using a drag-and drop interface to place widgets, allowing widgets to be repositioned and by hiding implementation details. PHUIs are interfaces built from tangible widgets arranged on the surfaces of physical objects. PHUI layout will become mo...

HCI in outdoor recreation is a growing research area. While papers investigating systems in specific domains, such as biking, climbing, or skiing, are beginning to appear, the broader community is just beginning to form. The community still seems to lack a cohesive agenda for advancing our understanding of this application domain. The goal of this...
Conference Paper
PHUIs are interfaces built from tangible widgets arranged on the surfaces of physical objects. PHUI-kit is tool for making physical user interface (PHUI) design more like graphical user interface (GUI) design in the context of 3D printed object housings. The tool includes a drag-and drop interface to place, reposition and delete physical widgets on...
Conference Paper
Recent work in tangible interfaces, including widget sets like .NET Gadgeteer and Phidgets, has enabled prototyping of rich physical interaction at a handheld or tabletop scale. But it remains unclear how participants respond to physical widgets at larger scales. What kinds of interaction would larger widgets enable, and what kinds of systems - if...
Conference Paper
Many people enjoy hiking as an outdoor escape from everyday life. However, in our survey of 1002 respondants in the United States, 95% of respondents indicate that they prefer to bring their cell phone when hiking. This potentially creates distractions by reminding hikers of the daily pressures they sought to escape. We believe technology has the a...
Conference Paper
The 2016 Ubicomp Ubiquitous Computing in the Mountains (UbiMount) Workshop was held in Heidelberg, Germany on September 12 and 13. An excursion on the second day of the workshop included hiking on trails and rock climbing on the Riesenstein in the Konigstuhl hill of the Odenwald Mountains adjacent to Heidelberg. We recorded accelerometer data and v...
Conference Paper
Interactive computing has impacted how people experience outdoor recreation. Nevertheless, the role of interactive computing in outdoor recreation can be complicated. Some people engage in outdoor recreation precisely to avoid distractions associated with pervasive interactive computing. Others use interactive computing to create, enhance or share...
Conference Paper
Tools for creating graphical user interfaces (GUIs) hide implementation details associated with changing the position, size or shape of a widget. For example, a GUI designer can change the position of a button without explicitly reimplementing the code that determines if the button has been clicked. We seek to provide a similar experience for movin...
Conference Paper
We experiment with using sensors and a machine learning algorithm to detect and label turns in alpine skiing. Previous work in this area involves data from more sensors and turns are detected using either a physics-based model or custom signal processing algorithm. We recorded accelerometer and gyroscope data using a single sensor placed on a skier...
