Toys are play products designed for leisure and social play activities. Today, play products
increasingly incorporate hardware and software computation, often connecting to online …

With this monograph we introduce a new, systematic taxonomy of Sports Interaction
Technology (Sports ITech) that defines a design space of existing and future work in this …

We introduce I/O Braid, an interactive textile cord with embedded sensing and visual
feedback. I/O Braid senses proximity, touch, and twist through a spiraling, repeating braiding …

In this paper we explore the design space of actuated curve interfaces, a novel class of
shape changing-interfaces. Physical curves have several interesting characteristics from the …

Force feedback devices resist miniaturization, because they require physical motors and
mechanics. We propose mobile force feedback by eliminating motors and instead actuating …

Grandparents and grandchildren, who cannot meet face-to-face (eg, due to dislocation or
physical distancing induced by a pandemic), often use audio-visual communication tools in …

Human actuation is the idea of using people to provide large-scale force feedback to users.
The Haptic Turk system, for example, used four human actuators to lift and push a virtual …

Multimodal and natural user interfaces offer an innovative approach to sensory integration
therapies. We designed and developed SensoryPaint, a multimodal system that allows …

Affordances is an important term in the field of Shape-Changing Interfaces (SCI). But the
field is challenged by a multitude of vaguely defined concepts around affordances such as …

In this paper we investigate whether remote touch in the form of force feedback from another
player's actions can enhance feelings of social presence and enjoyment of a collaborative …
