FAND: A shareable gesture based foot interface device

A large number of input interactions with computers use hands. This has increased the physiological load on hands. Most hand related orthopedic disorders are often associated with their excessive with computers. A large part of the extended work performed with computers involves repetitive interactions. Reducing hand load by involving the foot seems to be a promising possibility. Such an approach would distribute the total interaction load and improve work efficiency. In this paper, we present our work in this direction and discuss the design and evaluation of a non-personal, wearable, gesture-based foot interface device.
