Abstract

This paper introduces a preliminary study about the Smart-Mesh, a novel type of active structure capable of deforming actively its shape and thus being able to form objects. It is a new approach to find a solution to the difficulties that are encountered in the field of haptic interaction in virtual environments. The paper describes the basic working principles of the structure, which allow the generation of overhanging surfaces. A first prototype based on 16 nodes and 48 linkages with prismatic joints is presented. The SmartMesh can be embedded into a table, into walls, ceilings and floors. The resolution of the SmartMesh depends on the amount of nodes and the length of the linkages. The linkages can be replaced by linear actuators.
