PneuModule: Using Inflatable Pin Arrays for Reconfigurable Physical Controls on Pressure-Sensitive Touch Surfaces

InfraredTags: Embedding Invisible AR Markers and Barcodes Using Low-Cost, Infrared-Based 3D Printing and Imaging Tools

“…In miniStudio [19], Kim et al project imagery on tangible miniatures by tracking IR reflective stickers attached to them, which were augmented with fiducial markers using screen printing. Silapasuphakornwong et al [29] use a custom filament that fluoresces under near-infrared illumination to embed patterns inside 3D objects, however, the contrast is not high 1 https://optitrack.com/ PneuModule [15] uses pneumatically-actuated inflatable pin arrays. CapCodes [12] and BYO* [13]suggests tangibles 3D printed with conductive filaments to enable their identification when touched or moved on a touch display.…”

Towards Functional Architectural Decomposition of Constrained Layer Inflatable Systems

“…In the automotive field, inflatable systems capable of morphing and texturization have been explored for external aerodynamic surfaces (Terwagne et al, 2014), and driver information and alert systems (Tome, 2015). Finally, the human computer interaction field has demonstrated pneumatically activated devices for interactive displays with flexible (Matoba et al, 2012), malleable (Follmer et al, 2012), and reconfigurable, controllable stiffness controls on pressuresensitive touch surfaces (Han et al, 2020). These pneumatically activated systems use a wide variety of architectural approaches which impact their form and function.…”
