ActiTouch allows users to use their hands and arms as readily available touch input surfaces for AR and VR, opening a new interaction opportunity beyond conventional controllers and in-air gestures. We invented a powerful sensor fusion method which combines an electrical method with computer vision. This enables precise on-skin touch segmentations, which uniquely enables many fine-grained touch interactions such as scrolling and swiping. For more information, please refer to:
