Abstract

In this poster we present an interaction language for the manipulation of an elastic deformable 2.5D display. We discuss a range of gestures to interact and directly deform the surface. To demonstrate these affordances and the associated interactions, we present a scenario of a topographic data viewer using this prototype system.

3D Printed Deformable Surfaces for Shape-Changing Displays

“…Coelho and Zigelbaum (2011) survey shape-changing materials and their primary dynamic properties; while recent reviews classify (Rasmussen et al, 2012;Sturdee and Alexander, 2018) current state-of-the-art for shape-changing displays and interfaces. Commonly, shape-changing displays consist of a 2D array of motorized linear actuation pins (Poupyrev et al, 2004;Leithinger and Ishii, 2010;Follmer et al, 2013;Leithinger et al, 2013;Ishii et al, 2015;Jang et al, 2016) or deformable surface materials (Dand and Hemsley, 2013;Tsimeris et al, 2013;Yao et al, 2013;Sahoo et al, 2016). Our work builds on this previous research, specifically on shape-displays with motorized linear actuators for this initial exploration.…”

Interacting with actuated walls: Exploring applications and input types

“…Most shape-changing displays consist of an array of solid actuation pins (Follmer et al, 2013;Ishii et al, 2015;Jang et al, 2016;Leithinger et al, 2013;Leithinger and Ishii, 2010;Poupyrev et al, 2004) or deformable surface material (Dand and Hemsley, 2013;Sahoo et al, 2016;Tsimeris et al, 2013;Yao et al, 2013;Everitt and Alexander, 2019). Pin-actuated displays, often called shape displays, are the most widely adopted mechanical implementations (Taher et al, 2016).…”
