Abstract
Running is a widely practiced sport, and technology is a prominent aspect of the experience. Runners often utilize music, tracking applications, and wearable sensors like heart rate monitors. Engaging with these systems while moving presents specific challenges, as the running motion can impede interaction capabilities. Standard devices such as smartphones, smartwatches, and fitness trackers are commonly used, yet their small buttons and touch screens necessitate slowing down for effective interaction. In this work we demonstrate GestureShirt, a shirt that allows for eyes-free interaction while running. The prototype shirt utilizes detachable distance sensors to capture simple gestures. In the demo, visitors can utilize the body's surrounding space to interact with music.
