“…If it is possible to extremely improve spatial resolution, it should become a real hair-like interface. Hairs and furs are focused as an interface in the affective haptics area [14][15] [16] [17]. However, most of research related to such fur interface focus on affective aspect of passive furs or on detecting touch event or hand gesture above them.…”

There has been much research on interactive surface displays, which are displays that can change the geometric state of their surfaces actively. Most of these displays consist of multiple haptic units, which are composed of pins that actively move up and down. The envelope of these pins mimics the surface shape of an arbitrary object. However, it is difficult to improve the spatial resolution of such displays and to enlarge the display area because of the physical complexity. In this research, we propose the hairlytop interface, which is a collection of hair-like soft actuators composed of shape memory alloy. The proposed interface is capable of improving spatial resolution and can be used in developing larger surface displays. This paper details the hairlytop interface and discusses assumed applications.

“…Jackets or vests with embedded sensors and actuators for vibrotactile, pressure and thermal stimulation are DUIs providing sense of touch to the human bodies. Affective tactile perception can also be accomplished through different combinations of embedded stimuli inside the electro-mechanical clothing, typical examples are hugging (Teh et al 2008;Samani et al 2013), bristling (Furukawa et al 2010), and warm social touch (Pfab and Willemse 2015), etc.…”

The enhancement of human senses electronically is possible when pervasive computers interact unnoticeably with humans in ubiquitous computing. The design of computer user interfaces towards ''disappearing'' forces the interaction with humans using a content rather than a menu driven approach, thus the emerging requirement for huge number of non-technical users interfacing intuitively with billions of computers in the Internet of Things is met. Learning to use particular applications in ubiquitous computing is either too slow or sometimes impossible so the design of user interfaces must be naturally enough to facilitate intuitive human behaviours. Although humans from different racial, cultural and ethnic backgrounds own the same physiological sensory system, the perception to the same stimuli outside the human bodies can be different. A novel taxonomy for disappearing user interfaces (DUIs) to stimulate human senses and to capture human responses is proposed. Furthermore, applications of DUIs are reviewed. DUIs with sensor and data fusion to simulate the sixth sense is explored. Enhancement of human senses through DUIs and context awareness is discussed as the groundwork enabling smarter wearable devices for interfacing with human emotional memories.

We present the FuwaFuwa sensor module, a round, handsize, wireless device for measuring the shape deformations of soft objects such as cushions and plush toys. It can be embedded in typical soft objects in the household without complex installation procedures and without spoiling the softness of the object because it requires no physical connection. Six LEDs in the module emit IR light in six orthogonal directions, and six corresponding photosensors measure the reflected light energy. One can easily convert almost any soft object into a touch-input device that can detect both touch position and surface displacement by embedding multiple FuwaFuwa sensor modules in the object. A variety of example applications illustrate the utility of the FuwaFuwa sensor module. An evaluation of the proposed deformation measurement technique confirms its effectiveness.ACM Classification: H5.m. Information interfaces and presentation (e.g., HCI): Miscellaneous.
