“…There are a number of studies on squeezable interfaces in which rigid sensors are embedded. Some typical sensing technologies are optical sensing [13,14,21,24,34,35], air pressure sensing [44,45], force sensing [2,5,17,19,32,33] and acoustic sensing [23,26]. However, if a completely soft experience is expected, hard components could distract from the experience of softness when squeezing.…”

“…Soft interfaces are regarded as more natural and expressive [1]. Researchers have explored the potential of soft interfaces in various domains, such as music instruments [2][3][4][5][6], breathing sensors [7], modeling tools [8][9][10][11], toys [12,13], controllers [11][12][13][14][15][16][17], mental health [18][19][20], communication [21,22], furniture [13,23], and robot skin [24]. These interfaces come in different sizes, ranging from finger interaction [14,15,25] to hand interaction [16,24,26] to whole body interactions [13,27].…”

“…Some systems utilized commercially available materials to build squeeze sensors. Some of them are embedded with rigid sensors to detect compression [2,5,13,14,17,19,21,23,24,26,[32][33][34][35]. By contrast, to remove the rigid components from the compression part of the sensor, some studies utilized commercially available soft conductive materials to detect the deformation of the soft interface.…”

This study investigates accessible and sensitive electrode solutions for detecting touches and squeezes on soft interfaces based on commercially available conductive polyurethane foam. Various electrode materials and configurations are explored, and for electrodes made of conductive threads, the static and dynamic electrical behaviors are studied in depth. In contrast to existing approaches that aim to minimize or stabilize contact resistance, we propose leveraging contact resistance to significantly enhance sensing sensitivity. Suggestions for future researchers and developers when building squeeze sensors based on this material are provided. Our findings offer insights for DIY enthusiasts and researchers, enabling them to develop sensitive soft interfaces for touch and squeeze interactions in an affordable and accessible manner and provide a completely soft user experience.

“…Therefore, the more familiar they are with hand exploration, the better their ability to recognize the environment. There exist quite a few studies on hand gestures for sound control [11][12][13][14][15], which, however, were not applied to the welfare of the visually impaired. Withagen et al [16] think that the visually disabled can built three-dimensional images in their mind in the same way as normal people do.…”

Somatosensory interaction is a kind of man-machine interfacing technique for information acquisition through human postures, which are widely used in digital art nowadays. To create opportunities for the visually impaired to enjoy digital art, two sound art systems named Dynamic Sound and Concrete Sound, which are based on somatosensory technology, were designed in this study for the visually impaired to appreciate with pleasure. The former system emphasizes resonances between humans and sound, allowing the visually impaired user to trigger different sounds by hand gestures which promote the user's physio-pleasure and ideo-pleasure. The latter system, also being controlled by hand gestures, combines sounds with three-state physical phenomena as feedbacks which are explained orally by an accompanying person to the visually impaired user, creating an inter-person communication that promotes the user's socio-pleasure. By public exhibitions, users' feedbacks were acquired via interviews, and evaluated to prove the effectiveness of the proposed systems with the following findings: 1) interactions by hand gestures offers the visually impaired with opportunities to enjoy digital art; 2) sound art provided by the systems allows the visually impaired to gain pleasure via man-machine interactions; 3) the systems innovatively integrate dynamic visual performances with auditory feedbacks in the interaction process; and 4) through the development of gesture operations, more performance techniques can be devised for sound art, allowing gesture motions to replace control interfaces in future designs.
