摘要：
With the rising of demands for novel human-computer interaction approaches in the 2D plane, a number of intelligent devices come into being. For example, Microsoft Surface Dial supports simple clicks and rotations for the interaction with computer. However, these approaches are dedicated devices, and they might require batteries or have limited functions. In this paper, we propose RF-Dial to realize a light-weight, battery-free and functional 2D human-computer interaction solution via commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) passive RFID tags. What RF-Dial shines is that it can easily turn an ordinary object, e.g., a board eraser, into an intelligent interaction device. By deploying a tag array on the side face of the object together with a dipole tag on the top face, RF-Dial cannot only track the rigid motion of the object but also detect the touch gesture of a user on the surface of the object, including translation, rotation, click, press and hold, and swipe. To do the motion tracking, RF-Dial builds a phase-based model that captures the translation and the rotation of the tagged object simultaneously, by jointly exploiting the information of phase variations and the topology of the tag array. To detect the touch gesture, RF-Dial builds an RSSI-based model that uses the impact of the touching finger on the tag antenna's impedance to estimate the touch position in real time, which is robust to environmental factors like position or orientation. We implemented a prototype of RF-Dial with commodity RFID devices. Extensive experiments show that RF-Dial achieves an accurate rigid motion tracking, with a small error of 0.6cm for the translation tracking, and a small error of 1.9 degrees for the rotation estimation. Besides, RF-Dial can also detect the touch gesture accurately, as the 90 percent of touch position errors are less than 2.09mm.
