In this paper, we propose a new interaction technique for controlling applications by touching the cheek that the skin deformation is detected by an enhanced Head-Mounted Display (HMD). This technique envisions supporting commands and controls for applications as map applications and photo viewers without carrying additional controlling device. In this technique, the skin defor-mation is measured by attaching light sensors to the HMD.We idetified directional gestures with accuracy of 89.76% when users sitting.
