Abstract

We present PaperTab, a paper tablet computer that allows physical manipulation of windows embodied in multiple flexible displays. PaperTab offers the benefits of updating electronic information on the fly, while maintaining the haptic/kinesthetic feedback of tangible documents, as each document is a fully functional, paper-like E Ink display. We present windowing techniques for a paper computer that relies on multiple physical windows. Our between-display interactions are based on the proximity of a display to the user. They are categorized into hot zones, for active editing, warm zones for temporary storage, and cold zones for long-term storage. Our within-display interactions use pointing with a display as a focus+context tool.

PaperTab: an electronic paper computer with multiple large flexible electrophoretic displays
CHI EA '13: CHI '13 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems

We present Papertab, a paper computer with multiple 10.7" functional touch sensitive flexible electrophoretic displays. Papertab merges the benefits of working with electronic documents with the tangibility of paper documents. In Papertab, each document ...
DisplayStacks: interaction techniques for stacks of flexible thin-film displays
CHI '12: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

Stacking physical documents is one of the main forms of spatio-temporal organization of information. We present DisplayStacks, a system that enables physical stacking of digital documents via piles of flexible E Ink displays. With a conductive dot ...
Snaplet: using body shape to inform function in mobile flexible display devices
CHI EA '11: CHI '11 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems

With recent advances in flexible displays, computer displays are no longer restricted to flat, rigid form factors. In this paper, we propose that the physical form of a flexible display, depending on the way it is held or worn, can help shape its ...
