Abstract

In this paper, we demonstrate a method to create a seamless information media 'channel' between the physical and digital worlds. Our prototype, SmartFinger, aims to achieve this goal with a finger-worn camera, which continuously captures images for the extraction of information from our surroundings. With this metaphorical channel, we have created a software architecture which allows users to capture and interact with various entities in our surroundings. The interaction design space of SmartFinger is discussed in terms of smart-connection, smart-sharing and smart-extraction of information. We believe this work will create numerous possibilities for future explorations.
