Research on tangible user interfaces commonly focuses on tangible interfaces acting alone or in comparison with multi-touch or graphical interfaces. In contrast, hybrid approaches can be seen as the norm for established "mainstream'' interaction ...

This paper describes the Ph.D. research project "Tangible Signals" which is currently in its initial phase. This project investigates the dynamic physical representation and haptic feedback control of computer music and sound data using motorized and ...

In this paper we explore human-environment interrelationships by utilizing both hybrid materially-oriented approaches and metaphorical representations. Inspired by the 'canary in a coalmine' metaphor we developed a tangible interface to sense the ...

Transference is a hybrid computational system for improvised violin performance. With hardware sensors and digital signal processing (DSP), the system shapes live acoustic input and computer-generated sound. An electromyographic (EMG) sensor ...

Over the past decades monetary transactions have become increasingly dematerialized. Nowadays payments should be "frictionless", as easy as possible, for example through NFC or biometric payment methods. Although frictionless payment methods hold ...

To situate the skills of the textile designer within the HCI-process, we present a case of a hand puppet with a purpose-woven smart textile pattern. The qualities found in traditional textile design are tacitly synthesized into the eTextile-design ...

Uncertainty is common when working with data and becomes more important as processing big data gains attention. However, no standard tangible interface element exists for inputting uncertain data. In this article, we extend the input space of two ...

With an increased interest in Organic User Interface, it becomes more and more important to help designers create deformable devices. One current challenge is the integration of rigid and soft electronic components with the device. In this paper, we ...

Wind simulations are typically one-off implementations for specific applications. We introduce WindyWall, a platform for creative design and exploration of wind simulations. WindyWall is a three-panel 90-fan array that encapsulates users with 270? of ...
