We developed a mouth gesture interface featuring a mutual-capacitance sensor embedded in a surgical mask. This wearable hands-free interface recognizes non-verbal mouth gestures; others cannot eavesdrop on anything the user does with the user’s device. The mouth is hidden by the mask; others do not know what the user is doing. We confirm the feasibility of our approach and demonstrate the accuracy of mouth shape recognition. We present two applications. Mouth shape can be used to zoom in or out, or to select an application from a menu.
