Development of interface using movement of knee and toe

Abstract

In this paper, we proposed a new interface by using lower limbs motions. Here, we utilised the center of gravity on the sole of the foot to reflect the operation of the equipment by using the slippers, whose sole shape was curved just like a cradle. The operation was composed of four modes and the LED on the slipper indicated the operation mode. Four modes could be changed by the shift in center of gravity movement to the heel by deep pressing motion. In each mode, the operation was carried out by the shift in center of gravity movement to the heel and the toe.
