Figure 1. Flexibles are 3D-printed deformation-aware tangibles that operate on capacitive touchscreens. By exploiting capacitive effects, new mechanisms enable the touchscreen to sense continuous bend (A & B), pressure (C), and squeeze input (D) at custom locations on the 3D object.

This paper presents an explorative study investigating the social video watching experience. We particularly investigate the role of interpersonal relationships on social interaction while watching and its link to video genres. The results reveal that the desired relationship for social interactions around video content does not solely depend on strong relationship between viewers. Moreover, program genre plays an important role on social structure preferences for watching television as a shared activity. These results can have considerable impact on designing social interactive television systems to enhance social interactions between remote viewers.
