Abstract
In this work, we propose an input interface for mobile head-mounted display. A camera is attached on frames of glasses to take pictures below. When users lift their hand so that the camera can see their thumbnail, the system recognizes it and detects its position. Measured position is used for inputting command for controlling the head-mounted display. The system also recognizes pinching force between a thumb and an index finger. The color of the thumb changes depending on the applied force. Users can interact with devices with small motions.
