This project seeks to develop fundamentally new user interface software, built to take advantage of capacitive sensors capable of detecting detailed hand postures on and around electronic devices. The partner organization's innovative technologies create a unique opportunity to answer the question: can increased sensing of hand and finger position enable more immersive experiences? This project seeks an answer to this for each of three unique form factors: virtual reality controllers, augmented reality controllers, and handheld devices. The resulting technology will enable Tactual and its clients to fundamentally change the way humans interact with various technologies, while at the same time generating new bodies of knowledge in HCI, and producing significant HQP. The partner is Tactual Labs, a fabless semiconductor company focused on developing fundamentally better human input sensing. The technology used in this project is able to eliminate all latency from computers, tablets, digital whiteboards, virtual reality controllers, and other interactive systems. These fast devices are orders of magnitude more performant than traditional tech, at similar cost. The project will be conducted in phases. First, a methodology will be applied identifying opportunities for the unique hardware, in terms of human perception, motor skills, and context of use. Next, user interface software will be developed which take these into account, and which leverage Tactual's uniquely performant systems. These interfaces will undergo significant iterative refinement, before finally delivering three sets of unique user interface components built in software, which, when paired with Tactual's hardware, provide for fundamentally better user experiences with a wide array of form factors.

该项目旨在开发全新的用户界面软件，利用电容式传感器检测电子设备上和周围的详细手势。合作伙伴组织的创新技术创造了一个独特的机会来回答这个问题：增强的手和手指位置感知能否带来更身临其境的体验？这个项目为三种独特的形式因素：虚拟现实控制器、增强现实控制器和手持设备寻求答案。由此产生的技术将使Tactual及其客户从根本上改变人类与各种技术交互的方式，同时在HCI中产生新的知识体系，并产生重要的HQP。合作伙伴是Tactual Labs，一家无晶圆厂半导体公司，专注于从根本上开发更好的人类输入传感。该项目中使用的技术能够消除计算机、平板电脑、数字白板、虚拟现实控制器和其他交互系统的所有延迟。这些快速设备的性能比传统技术高出几个数量级，成本也差不多。该项目将分阶段进行。首先，将采用一种方法，从人类感知、运动技能和使用环境的角度确定独特硬件的机会。接下来，用户界面软件的开发将考虑到这些因素，并利用Tactual独特的性能系统。这些界面将经过大量的迭代改进，最终将推出三套内置软件的独特用户界面组件，这些组件与Tactual的硬件相结合，从根本上提供更好的用户体验。
