ABSTRACT
In the field of interface surface research, the idea of the 'softness' of a surface medium is one significant factor in determining a suitable means of interaction with the user. With direct touch input, for example, the degree of surface softness allows for the generation various touch sensations and tactile feedback. Additionally, the softness also affects the shape of the surface: a soft surface will allow the user to deform the surface at will while a hard surface will maintain its shape easier. In many traditional flexible surfaces to date, this element has been considered static and thus unchangeable. This project, in contrast, considers the softness of a surface to be dynamic and thus further explores the interaction possibilities with this type of surface. We demonstrate the possibilities of dynamically changing surfaces and their derived user interaction.

Highly deformable interactive 3D surface display
UIST Adjunct Proceedings '12: Adjunct proceedings of the 25th annual ACM symposium on User interface software and technologyIn this research, we focused on the flexibility limitation of a display material as one of the main causes for height con-straints in deformable surfaces. We propose a method that does not only utilize the material flexibility but also allows for ...
Enabling beyond-surface interactions for interactive surface with an invisible projection
UIST '10: Proceedings of the 23nd annual ACM symposium on User interface software and technologyThis paper presents a programmable infrared (IR) technique that utilizes invisible, programmable markers to support interaction beyond the surface of a diffused-illumination (DI) multi-touch system. We combine an IR projector and a standard color ...
Demonstrating MagneTisch: Tangibles in Motion on an Interactive Surface
MuC '22: Proceedings of Mensch und Computer 2022In this demonstration, we present MagneTisch, an interactive surface that can move, rotate, and modify 3D printed tangibles. A height-adjustable gripper arm grabs tangibles using magnets to move them to any location on the interactive table surface and ...
