Antti Sand

Antti Sand is a Lecturer in the Department of Computing Sciences at Tampere University, part of the Faculty of Information Technology and Communication Sciences. His research focuses on innovative interaction technologies, particularly mid-air gestural interfaces, haptic feedback systems, and their applications in education, healthcare, and daily life. He has contributed to projects like PigScape (a video game for ADHD cognitive training) and fogscreen interaction studies.

Key research themes include:

• Mid-air gestural interaction design
• Ultrasound-based haptic feedback systems
• Child-friendly interaction technologies
• Multimodal sensory augmentation (food consumption, automotive)
• Unconventional display interfaces

Recent work explores:

• ADHD intervention through gestural gaming
• Food consumption behavior modification using sensory technologies
• Driver safety via non-contact interaction systems
• Comparative studies of cross-platform mobile applications

Publications span 2013–2025, with notable contributions to IEEE Xplore and ACM Digital Library. No scientific awards explicitly listed.
