Despite numerous possibilities to combine digital functionalities with physical paper, these solutions require users to handle, wear (e.g. smart phones, head-mounted displays) or set up (e.g. projectors) additional hardware, or require special ...

Despite the drive to digitise learning, paper still holds a prominent role within educational settings. While computational devices have several advantages over paper (e.g. changing and showing content based on user interaction and needs) their prolonged ...

Ubiquitous nature, versatility, and durability enabled paper to maintain its importance in the digital age. It is not surprising there have been numerous attempts to combine paper with the digital content. One way to do so is to place paper on a ...

Past research recognized that paper has many advantages over digital devices, such as affordability, tangibility, and flexibility. Paper, however, also lacks many of the functionalities available in digital technologies, such as access to online ...

Momentary switches are important building blocks to prototype novel physical user interfaces and enable tactile, explicit and eyes-free interactions. Unfortunately, typical representatives, such as push-buttons or pre-manufactured membrane switches, ...

My Research explores methods to enhance the reading experience of both digital and physical methods. Up to now in my PhD journey I have designed and developed prototypes using paper as input for digital reading devices. I have been exploring methods to ...

Our work presents a method to use paper as an input device while reading on a mobile device, where the user turns a physical page in the real world in order to turn a page in the digital world. Our goal in this work is to replicate the feedback and ...

This paper presents a user experience study of interaction with printed maps for providing digitally augmented tourism information. The Interactive Maps system has been implemented based on an interactive printed matter framework which provides all the ...

In this work, we explore moveables, i.e., interactive papercraft that harness user interaction to generate visual effects. First, we present a survey of children's books that captured the state of the art of moveables. The results of this survey were ...

Interactive geographic maps are today widely available, but remain mostly limited to standard interaction contexts. We introduce a spatial augmented reality map, in which a virtual map is projected on a physical piece of paper. In a preliminary study we ...

In this paper, we explore gesture-based interactions in a mixed interactive system for Air Traffic Controllers. This exploration lies on an analysis of controller gestures, that we were able to observe in a control tower and in a simulator centre. In ...

Interactive paper technologies offer new opportunities for supporting the highly individual practices of creative artists, such as contemporary music composers, who express and explore their ideas on both paper and the computer. We introduce ...

We present a system working on a wearable computer that can annotate and retrieve annotations for signs, posters, public displays etc. The only limitation of the system: the annotated objects need to contain at least 3-5 lines of text with fixed layout. ...

Contemporary music composition is a highly creative and disciplined activity that requires free expression of ideas and sophisticated computer programming. This paper presents a technique for structured observation of expert creative behavior, as well ...

We present a novel system to support active reading. Utilizing a mobile device the user can add digital annotations to physical documents like papers and posters. We present first prototype implementations of the mobile phone interface with and without ...

A Tonnetz, or "tone-network" in German, is a two-dimensional representation of the relationships among musical pitches. In this paper, we present PaperTonnetz, a tool that lets musicians explore and compose music with Tonnetz representations by making ...

Existing interactive paper systems suffer from the disparate input devices for paper and computers. The finger-pen-only input on paper causes frequent devices switching (e.g. pen vs. mouse) during cross-media interactions, and may have issues of ...

We present a novel and innovative user interface for query-by-sketching based image retrieval that exploits emergent interactive paper and digital pen technology. Users can draw sketches with a digital pen on interactive paper in a user-friendly way. ...

The current environment used by French air traffic controllers mixes digital visualization such as radar screens and tangible artifacts such as paper strips. Tangible artifacts do not allow controllers to update the system with the instructions they ...

We present paper substrates, interactive paper components that support the creation and manipulation of complex musical data. Substrates take different forms, from whole pages to movable strips, and contain or control typed data representations. We ...
