    GeniePutt: Augmenting human motor skills through electrical muscle stimulation
    (it - Information Technology: Vol. 63, No. 3, 2021) Faltaous, Sarah; Abdulmaksoud, Aya; Kempe, Markus; Alt, Florian; Schneegass, Stefan
    Motor skills are omnipresent in our daily lives. Humans seek to learn new skills or improve existing ones. In this work, we explore how the actuation of the human body can be used to augment motor skills. We present GeniePutt, which augments the human performance via electrical muscle stimulation (EMS). We conducted a user study in which we controlled the turning angle of the wrist through GeniePutt to increase participants’ accuracy in a mini-golf scenario. Our results indicate that the best accuracy can be achieved when human capabilities are combined with augmentation performed through EMS.

    Lessons Learnt from Using Electrical Muscle Stimulation to Actuate Agonist and Antagonist Muscle Pairs
    (Mensch und Computer 2022 - Tagungsband, 2022) Faltaous, Sarah; Vogel, Justin; Giesler, Marco; Schneegass, Stefan
    Electrical muscle stimulation is widely explored in human-computer interaction. While most of the studies focus on the possible applications, others are directed towards the actuated movement accuracy. Extending the latter, we tested 9 different signal designs that combine the actuation of the muscle with the actuation of its antagonist. Our results indicate that the movement is not consistent when combining two opposing actuations although single muscles can be actuated consistently. Based on our obtained results, we distill design recommendations.
