This paper presents MagneDot, a novel method for making interactive magnetic shape displays through an integrated fabrication process. Magnetic soft materials can potentially create fast, responsive morphing structures for interactions. However, novice ...

Bio-based and bio-degradable materials have shown promising results for sustainable Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) applications, including shape-changing interfaces. However, the diversity of shape-changing behaviors achievable with these materials ...

Tangible user interfaces (TUIs) have been applied to assess, communicate, or regulate human core affect, emotions, or moods. Previous studies identified TUIs as an innovative way to serve people’s affective needs. This review examines the design and ...

Parent-child separation can detrimentally affect a child’s well-being. While digital technologies enable remote communication, they often lack effective means for young children to initiate contact, engage physically, and express emotions. Pioneering ...

This paper introduces MagPixel, a modular toolkit for democratizing the design and fabrication of interactive shape displays using magnetic soft materials in the realm of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). Known for their instant responsiveness and ...

We demonstrate a modular display device that interweaves artificial intelligence, tangible interaction, and an ACM IUI corpus. Our design incorporates a low-cost, shape-changing tangible interface with an array of illuminated, actuated physical ...

We describe iterations on the design of a hexagonal token and constraint tangible and cyberphysical interface. Our system has been co-designed both for use in tangible, embedded, embodied interaction and extended reality classroom contexts, and within ...

Surface I/O is a novel interface approach that functionalizes the exterior surface of devices to provide haptic and touch sensing without dedicated mechanical components. Achieving this requires a unique combination of surface features spanning the macro-...

Alternative game controllers — physical input mechanisms for interactive media that are distinct from traditional handheld controllers or computer inputs — are a continuing presence in commercial and academic games fields. Many of these works, presented ...

Artificial Intelligence (AI) supports many of our everyday activities and decisions. However, personalized algorithmic recommendations often produce adverse experiences due to a lack of awareness, control, or transparency. While research has directed ...

Weiser has predicted the third generation of computing would result in individuals interacting with many computing devices and ultimately can “weave themselves into the fabric of everyday life until they are indistinguishable from it” [17]. However, ...

Programmable surfaces, which can be instructed to alter their shape or texture, may one day serve as a platform for tangible interfaces and adaptive environments. But so far, these structures have been constrained in scale by a challenging fabrication ...

Passively consuming digital social media content often precludes users from mindfully considering the value they derive from such experiences as they engage in them. We present a system for using Twitter that requires users to continuously turn a hand ...

Hybrid environments in education can alter the notion of space and time for learners who may have difficulty making links and perceiving complementarity between the different times, places, spaces and tools they use. This discontinuity can have negative ...

Digitization of Earth mountains and terrains has facilitated to plan journeys, manage natural resources, and learn about the Earth from the comfort of our homes. We aim to develop new interactions on digital mountains with novel interfaces: 3D printed ...

Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices promise to enhance even the most mundane of objects with computational properties by seamlessly coupling the virtual world to the physical. However, IoT's associated costs and cumbersome setup limits its extension to ...

This pictorial presents a design investigation at the intersection of paper and computer vision for tangible interfaces. Through this exploration, we uncovered various characteristics of paper that connect tangible interactions with concealing and ...

The home of the future will be an interface (in itself) much like current, omni-present screen-based, interfaces. Designing the interior of your home will be as gratifying and immediate as a click is today, with modular digital furniture becoming the ...

We designed and created a new self-contained tangible pen-like input device prototype that can sense all 26 contacts and works with any capacitive display using a conductive case designed with pliable corners. Contacts are distinguished using the device ...

Active language use refers to people's use of a language in their everyday lives and activities. Tangible User Interfaces (TUIs) can facilitate children's participation in language activities such as language learning, communication, storytelling, and ...
