Thanks to the organisers of “Beyond Radar Waves: The First Workshop on Radar-Based Human-Computer Interaction” for inviting me to deliver a talk.

I spoke about Contact Surface Sensing with Camera vs Radar.

Some of the papers I mentioned:

1. SpeCam: sensing surface color and material with the front-facing camera of a mobile device: https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3098279.3098541

2. MicroCam: Leveraging Smartphone Microscope Camera for Context-Aware Contact Surface Sensing: https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3610921

3. RadarCat: Radar Categorization for Input & Interaction: https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/2984511.2984515

4. Exploring Tangible Interactions with Radar Sensing: https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3287078

5. RadarFoot: Fine-grain Ground Surface Context Awareness for Smart Shoes: https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3586183.3606738

It was nice to be able to reflect on the history of Radar research in CSIRO here in Australia
