Abstract

In this case study, we discuss how an implanted magnet can support novel forms of input and output. By measuring the relative position between the magnet and an on-body device, local position of the device can be used for input. Electromagnetic fields can actuate the magnet to provide output by means of in-vivo haptic feedback. Traditional tracking options would struggle tracking the input methods we suggest, and the in-vivo sensations of vibration provided as output differ from the experience of vibrations applied externally - our data suggests that in-vivo vibrations are mediated by different receptors than external vibration. As the magnet can be easily tracked as well as actuated it provides opportunities for encoding information as material experiences.
