In learning programming and learning to construct applications with graphical user interfaces, there exists a large body of concepts from everyday life that are used to guide students. In this study, we explore whether such concepts from everyday life ...

The continued advancement in user interfaces comes to the era of virtual reality that requires a better understanding of how users will interact with 3D buttons in mid-air. Although virtual reality owns high levels of expressiveness and demonstrates the ...

In this paper we would like to explain our approach to the development of this swatch, from the idea to the possible applications of the final product. We will explain how we came up with the basic idea, which questions we asked ourselves and what kind ...

Physical buttons provide clear haptic feedback when pressed and released, but their responses are unvarying. Physical buttons can be powered by force actuators to produce unlimited click sensations, but the cost is substantial. An alternative can be ...

Push-buttons provide rich haptic feedback during a press via mechanical structures. While different buttons have varying haptic qualities, few works have attempted to dynamically render such tactility, which limits designers from freely exploring buttons'...

Designing a push-button with desired sensation and performance is challenging because the mechanical construction must have the right response characteristics. Physical simulation of a button's force-displacement (FD) response has been studied to ...

Buttons are one of the most extended input methods that we use to interact with machines. Videogames, medical devices or coffee makers are controlled with the binary input of buttons. However, it has been shown that pressure information can be used to ...

Physical buttons provide rich force characteristics during the travel range, which are commonly described in the form of force-displacement curves. These force characteristics play an important role in the users' experiences while pressing a button. ...

Effective designs compel customers to purchase products. Adding extra value to products by characterizing users' experiences can lead firms to greater market success. Haptic stimulation can be added to products to enhance product performance and ...

In this short paper I will look at the use of hand-made gaming controllers for my own interactive artworks, in particular the technology behind the interactive projection mapping artwork Shadows blister those who try to touch, exhibited at ACM MM 2015 ...

Although number entry appears to be a trivial task, user errors are still common and could be a result of poorly engineered interaction with the devices. We are challenging the design of universal number entry systems by looking at cases where user ...

This paper describes a new interaction concept, which is based on customizable self-adhesive stickers with an integrated button, manufacturable at low cost. By pressing the button, users can execute specialized functionalities on their mobile phones, ...

Toolglass^TM widgets are new user interface tools that can appear, as though on a transparent sheet of glass, between an application and a traditional cursor. They can be positioned with one hand while the other positions the cursor. The widgets provide ...
