Garment level power distribution for wearables using inductive power transfer (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Worgan, P., & Fraser, M. (2016). Garment level power distribution for wearables using inductive power transfer. In 2016 9th International Conference on Human System Interactions (HSI) (277-283). https://doi.org/10.1109/HSI.2016.7529644

© 2016 IEEE. Wearable and smart devices are gaining in popularity, with many users now using multiple devices. Each of these devices requires individual charging and power maintenance. This paper proposes power sharing between multiple wearables to a... Read More about Garment level power distribution for wearables using inductive power transfer.

PowerShake: Power Transfer interactions for mobile devices (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Worgan, P., Knibbe, J., Fraser, M., & Plasencia, D. M. (2016). PowerShake: Power Transfer interactions for mobile devices. In Proceedings of the 2016 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems - CHI '16 (4734-4745). https://doi.org/10.1145/2858036.2858569

© 2016 ACM. Current devices have limited battery life, typically lasting less than one day. This can lead to situations where critical tasks, such as making an emergency phone call, are not possible. Other devices, supporting different functionality,... Read More about PowerShake: Power Transfer interactions for mobile devices.

Force attraction pen: A haptic pen with variable attraction force (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Burnside, J., Elgar, B., Healer, S., Hill, A., Ioannidis, Z., Mitchell, L., …Roudaut, A. (2016). Force attraction pen: A haptic pen with variable attraction force. In CHI EA '16: Proceedings of the 2016 CHI Conference Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems (2655-2660). https://doi.org/10.1145/2851581.2892441

We present the Force Attraction Pen, a haptic stylus that encourages the users to move in a particular direction by providing variable attraction force feedback based on their actions. The tip of the stylus is augmented with an electromagnet that can... Read More about Force attraction pen: A haptic pen with variable attraction force.

NotiFall - Ambient sonification system using water (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Harman, A., Dimitrov, H., Ma, R., Whitehouse, S., Li, Y., Worgan, P., …Roudaut, A. (2016). NotiFall - Ambient sonification system using water. In CHI EA '16: Proceedings of the 2016 CHI Conference Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems (2667-2672). https://doi.org/10.1145/2851581.2892443

This paper presents NotiFall, an experimental prototype of an ambient auditory notification system. NotiFall uses the sound of falling water to subtly notify users for non-urgent matters, such as weather alerts or emails in an unobtrusive manner. The...

Flexible on-body coils for inductive power transfer to IoT garments and wearables (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Worgan, P., Pappas, O., Omirou, T., & Collett, M. (2016). Flexible on-body coils for inductive power transfer to IoT garments and wearables. In 2015 IEEE 2nd World Forum on Internet of Things (WF-IoT) (297-298). https://doi.org/10.1109/wf-iot.2015.7389069

Inductive power transfer is a promising technology for ambient charging and powering of wearable devices without the need for direct user intervention. Existing systems typically use circular or rectangular coils built using inflexible wire and fixed... Read More about Flexible on-body coils for inductive power transfer to IoT garments and wearables.
