ABSTRACT
This paper presents Running Gestures, an interaction technique that relies on foot gestures while running. A prototype and evaluation of one of the proposed gestures, a mid-stride skip, is presented in detail. The developed prototype is used by runners to change the currently playing music track, and the evaluation compares users' performance in relation to other methods of changing tracks while running. The results show that Running Gestures is a highly effective way of interacting with a system when running.

An empirical study of foot gestures for hands-occupied mobile interaction
ISWC '17: Proceedings of the 2017 ACM International Symposium on Wearable ComputersUser-defined foot-gesture is a promising approach to interacting with mobile devices when both hands are occupied. In this research, we first present a survey to identify how often interacting with mobile devices is needed when both hands are busy and ...
Running with Technology: Evaluating the Impact of Interacting with Wearable Devices on Running Movement
The use of wearable devices during running has become commonplace. Although there is ongoing research on interaction techniques for use while running, the effects of the resulting interactions on the natural movement patterns have received little ...
Better Understanding of Foot Gestures: An Elicitation Study
CHI '18: Proceedings of the 2018 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsWe present a study aimed to better understand users' perceptions of foot gestures employed on a horizontal surface. We applied a user elicitation methodology, in which participants were asked to suggest foot gestures to actions (referents) in three ...
