Deformable interfaces are emerging in HCI and prototypes show potential for non-rigid
interactions. Previous reviews looked at deformation as a material property of shape …

The purpose of the book is to develop a generative theory of shape that has two properties
regarded as fundamental to intelligence-maximizing transfer of structure and maximizing …

Device deformation allows new types of gestures to be used in interaction. We identify that
the gesture/use-case pairings proposed by interaction designers are often driven by factors …

We propose a novel, cost-effective soft sensor capable of detecting contact force, multiple
touch points, and reflecting sensor interaction in real-time with a 3D virtual surface …

There has been little discussion on how the materials used to create deformable devices,
and the subsequent interactions, might influence user performance and preference. In this …

Abstract Deformable User Interfaces (DUIs) are increasingly being proposed for new
tangible and organic interaction metaphors and techniques. To design DUIs, it is necessary …

Non-rigid interfaces allow for exploring new interactive paradigms that rely on deformable
input and shape change, and whose possible applications span several branches of human …

Pressure input and thermal feedback are two under-researched aspects of touch in mobile
human-computer interfaces. Pressure input could provide a wide, expressive range of …

An evergreen topic of human-computer interaction research is multi-modality. It has been
considered important for the user interface of future computer aided conceptual design …

A key objective of gesture based computer aided design (CAD) interface is to enable
humans to manipulate 3D models in virtual environments in a manner similar to how such …
