Abstract

This research aims to enable tangential force input for touch panels by measuring the tangential force. The system is composed of a plastic sheet on a touch panel, urethane pillars on the panel that are aligned at the four corners of the bezel, and a case on top of the pillars. When the sheet moves with a finger, the pillars deform so that a tangential force can be obtained by measuring the movement of the finger. We evaluated the method and found that the system showed realistic force sensing accuracy in any direction. This input method will enable development of new applications for touch panels such as using any part of the touch panel surface as joysticks, or modeling virtual objects by deforming them with the fingers.

Detection of tangential force for a touch panel using shear deformation of the gel
CHI EA '14: CHI '14 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems

Many capacitive touch panels detect the position and contact area of the user finger, and can estimate the vertical force from the change in the contact area. However, they cannot detect and measure the tangential force. This research aims to enable the ...
Using shear as a supplemental two-dimensional input channel for rich touchscreen interaction
CHI '12: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

Touch input is constrained, typically only providing finger X/Y coordinates. To access and switch between different functions, valuable screen real estate must be allocated to buttons and menus, or users must perform special actions, such as touch-and-...
Tap model to improve input accuracy of touch panels
HAI '14: Proceedings of the second international conference on Human-agent interaction

In recent years, devices that use touch panels as interfaces, such as smart phones and tablet PCs, have spread. These devices have many advantages. For example, operating the panel can be done more intuitively in comparison with using conventional ...
