Abstract

We present PneuModule, a tangible interface platform that enables users to reconfigure physical controls on pressure-sensitive touch surfaces using pneumatically-actuated inflatable pin arrays. PneuModule consists of two types of different passive modules: a main module and extension modules. The main module can be customized by attaching extension modules that have distinct physical input modalities. The extension modules are hot-swappable, enable users to quickly customize the interface layout. We showcase the feasibility of PneuModule through a series of interactive demonstrations.
