Evaluation of the ShapeTape Tracker for Wearable, Mobile Interaction

In this paper we describe two engineering experiments designed to evaluate the effectiveness of Measurand’s ShapeTape for wearable, mobile interaction. Our initial results suggest that the ShapeTape is not appropriate for interactions which require a high degree of accuracy. However, ShapeTape is capable of reproducing the qualitative motion the user is performing and thus could be used to support 3D gesture-based interaction.
