Fashion design usually requires multiple designers to discuss and collaborate to complete a set of fashion designs, and the efficiency of the sketching process is another challenge for personalized design. In this paper, we introduce a fashion design system, CrossGAI, that can support multiple designers to collaborate on different devices and provide AI-enhanced sketching assistance. Based on the design requirements analysis acquired from the formative study of designers, we develop the system framework of CrossGAI implemented by the user-side web-based cross-device design platform working along with the server-side AI-integrated backend system. The CrossGAI system can be agilely deployed in LAN networks which protects the privacy and security of user data. To further improve both the efficiency and the quality of the sketch process, we devised and exploited generative AI modules, including a sketch retrieval module to retrieve sketches according to stroke or sketch drawn, a sketch generation module enabling the generation of fashion sketches consistent with the designer's unique aesthetic, and an image synthesis module that could achieve sketch-to-image synthesis in accordance with the reference image's style. To optimise the computation offloading when multiple user processes are handled in LAN networks, Lyapunov algorithm with DNN actor is utilized to dynamically optimize the network bandwidth of different clients based on their access history to the application and reduce network latency. The performance of our modules is verified through a series of evaluations under LAN environment, which prove that our CrossGAI system owns competitive ability in AIGC-aided designing. Furthermore, the qualitative analysis on user experience and work quality demonstrates the efficiency and effectiveness of CrossGAI system in design work.

Knowing the object grabbed by a hand can offer essential contextual information for interaction between the human and the physical world. This paper presents a novel system, ViObject, for passive object recognition that uses accelerometer and gyroscope sensor data from commodity smartwatches to identify untagged everyday objects. The system relies on the vibrations caused by grabbing objects and does not require additional hardware or human effort. ViObject's ability to recognize objects passively can have important implications for a wide range of applications, from smart home automation to healthcare and assistive technologies. In this paper, we present the design and implementation of ViObject, to address challenges such as motion interference, different object-touching positions, different grasp speeds/pressure, and model customization to new users and new objects. We evaluate the system's performance using a dataset of 20 objects from 20 participants and show that ViObject achieves an average accuracy of 86.4%. We also customize models for new users and new objects, achieving an average accuracy of 90.1%. Overall, ViObject demonstrates a novel technology concept of passive object recognition using commodity smartwatches and opens up new avenues for research and innovation in this area.

Electrodermal activity (EDA) is a physiological signal that can be used to infer humans' affective states and stress levels. EDA can nowadays be monitored using unobtrusive wearable devices, such as smartwatches, and leveraged in personal informatics systems. A still largely uncharted issue concerning EDA is the impact on real applications of potential differences observable on signals measured concurrently on the left and right side of the human body. This phenomenon, called lateralization, originates from the distinct functions that the brain's left and right hemispheres exert on EDA. In this work, we address this issue by examining the impact of EDA lateralization in two classification tasks: a cognitive load recognition task executed in the lab and a sleep monitoring task in a real-world setting. We implement a machine learning pipeline to compare the performance obtained on both classification tasks using EDA data collected from the left and right sides of the body. Our results show that using EDA from the side that is not associated with the specific hemisphere activation leads to a significant decline in performance for the considered classification tasks. This finding highlights that researchers and practitioners relying on EDA data should consider possible EDA lateralization effects when deciding on sensor placement.

Contactless acoustic sensing has been actively exploited in the past few years to enable a large range of applications, ranging from fine-grained vital sign monitoring to coarse-grained human tracking. However, existing acoustic sensing systems mainly work on smartphone or smart speaker platforms. In this paper, we envision an exciting new acoustic sensing platform, i.e., car cabin which is inherently embedded with a large number of speakers and microphones. We propose the new concept of distributed acoustic sensing and develop novel designs leveraging the unique characteristics of rich multi-path in car cabin to enable fine-grained sensing even when the primary reflection is totally blocked. By using child presence detection as the application example, we show that child presence can be detected through body motions or even subtle breath (when the child is sleeping or in coma) at all locations in the cabin without any blind spots. We further show that the proposed system can robustly work in different car cabins, achieving an average detection accuracy of 97% and a false alarm rate always below 2% under different scenarios including those challenging ones such as rear-facing seat blockage. We believe the proposed distributed sensing modality in car cabin pushes acoustic sensing one big step towards real-life adoption.

Underwater Visible Light Communication (UVLC) is promising due to its relatively strong penetration capability in water and large frequency bandwidth. Visible Light Communication (VLC) is also considered a safer wireless communication paradigm as light signals can be constrained within the area of interest with obstacles such as walls, reducing the chance of potential attack. However, this intuitional security assumption is not true anymore in underwater environment. Recent research shows that the eavesdropping risk of UVLC is more severe than we thought, attributed to the divergence and scattering effects of light beams in water. In this paper, we harness the dynamic nature of underwater environments as a true random resource to extract symmetric keys for UVLC. Specifically, the proposed AquaKey system incorporates instantaneous bidirectional channel probing, computation of relative channel characteristics, and an environment-adaptive quantization algorithm. The above design addresses unique challenges caused by the dynamic underwater environment, including self-interference, high-frequency disturbance, and mismatch, ensuring the practicality and applicability of AquaKey. Additionally, AquaKey has negligible impact on communication and has no effect on the illumination function. Through extensive real-world experiments, we show that AquaKey can achieve reliable key extraction with cheap hardware, generating a 512-bit key in just 0.5-1 seconds.

Ear wearables (earables) are emerging platforms that are broadly adopted in various applications. There is an increasing demand for robust earables authentication because of the growing amount of sensitive information and the IoT devices that the earable could access. Traditional authentication methods become less feasible due to the limited input interface of earables. Nevertheless, the rich head-related sensing capabilities of earables can be exploited to capture human biometrics. In this paper, we propose EarSlide, an earable biometric authentication system utilizing the advanced sensing capacities of earables and the distinctive features of acoustic fingerprints when users slide their fingers on the face. It utilizes the inward-facing microphone of the earables and the face-ear channel of the ear canal to reliably capture the acoustic fingerprint. In particular, we study the theory of friction sound and categorize the characteristics of the acoustic fingerprints into three representative classes, pattern-class, ridge-groove-class, and coupling-class. Different from traditional fingerprint authentication only utilizes 2D patterns, we incorporate the 3D information in acoustic fingerprint and indirectly sense the fingerprint for authentication. We then design representative sliding gestures that carry rich information about the acoustic fingerprint while being easy to perform. It then extracts multi-class acoustic fingerprint features to reflect the inherent acoustic fingerprint characteristic for authentication. We also adopt an adaptable authentication model and a user behavior mitigation strategy to effectively authenticate legit users from adversaries. The key advantages of EarSlide are that it is resistant to spoofing attacks and its wide acceptability. Our evaluation of EarSlide in diverse real-world environments with intervals over one year shows that EarSlide achieves an average balanced accuracy rate of 98.37% with only one sliding gesture.

Mobile app light and dark modes offer improved usability within different contexts (e.g., dark mode for easier night reading). Yet, little research has investigated the prevalence of light and dark modes across platforms, the intricacies of UI color changes, and challenges in the design and development process. Our investigation focused on comparing light and dark mode designs. We carried out a manual inspection of 120 popular Android and iOS apps to find that only 55% (Android) and 48% (iOS) of the apps included any modes. We also found significant variability in how many UI elements changed between modes. We interviewed 15 designers and developers to understand the creative process, motivations for design decisions, and what challenges exist in the processes that affect alternative mode implementation. We identified several issues that HCI researchers are equipped to solve, ultimately improving support for mobile app creators looking to implement dark modes (and beyond) for increased mobile usability in different contexts.

A spinal cord injury (SCI) typically results in a sudden change to an individual's motor function. People's adoption of technology soon after a severe SCI is crucial, since they must relearn most technology interactions to adjust to their new physical abilities and regain independence. This study examines how individuals adopt technologies soon after sustaining a severe SCI. By qualitatively analyzing the perspectives of ten rehabilitation clinicians, three individuals who recently sustained an SCI, and two of those participants' family members, we surfaced a spectrum of individuals' motivations to adopt technology post-injury and highlight the challenges they face to adopt technology. Our findings highlight the need to incorporate the holistic experience---including technology literacy, perception of support, and acceptance of the "new-normal"---in technology design for individuals who have a sudden change to motor functions. Our findings show that technology adoption is a critical component for the overall adjustment of post-SCI life. Finally, we use the extended version of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to make recommendations for more inclusive assistive design.

Secure device pairing is important to wearables. Existing solutions either degrade usability due to the need of specific actions like shaking, or they lack universality due to the need of dedicated hardware like electrocardiogram sensors. This paper proposes TouchKey, a symmetric key generation scheme that exploits the skin electric potential (SEP) induced by powerline electromagnetic radiation. The SEP is ubiquitously accessible indoors with analog-to-digital converters widely available on Internet of Things devices. Our measurements show that the SEP has high randomness and the SEPs measured at two close locations on the same human body are similar. Extensive experiments show that TouchKey achieves a high key generation rate of 345 bit/s and an average success rate of 99.29%. Under a range of adversary models including active and passive attacks, TouchKey shows a low false acceptance rate of 0.86%, which outperforms existing solutions. Besides, the overall execution time and energy usage are 0.44 s and 2.716 mJ, which make it suitable for resource-constrained devices.

The last few decades have witnessed an emerging trend of wearable soft sensors; however, there are important signal-processing challenges for soft sensors that still limit their practical deployment. They are error-prone when displaced, resulting in significant deviations from their ideal sensor output. In this work, we propose a novel prototype that integrates an elbow pad with a sparse network of soft sensors. Our prototype is fully bio-compatible, stretchable, and wearable. We develop a learning-based method to predict the elbow orientation angle and achieve an average tracking error of 9.82 degrees for single-user multi-motion experiments. With transfer learning, our method achieves the average tracking errors of 10.98 degrees and 11.81 degrees across different motion types and users, respectively. Our core contributions lie in a solution that realizes robust and stable human joint motion tracking across different device displacements.
