Illustration of the PickCells concept. Using her PickCells device (a) composed of small cubical cells, Eve can: b) snap-off cells to create a remote control while watching her movie; c) reorganise some cells to unlock her device by inputting a physical password; d) shape her device into a controller to comfortably play video games; e) snap-off a cell from her device, set it to control her smart light bulb and leave it in the living room so the whole family can control the bulb; and f) share one of her cell to show her vacation pictures on her friend's device.

“…Both systems reflect our interests in integrating mass-market commodity devices, including several technologies specific to the period. For example, our research programs had each engaged Sifteo Cubes [44,[51][52][53]57]. These "cubes" (in actuality, 1.5 inch x 1.5 inch x 0.75 inch) contain touch screens and are motion-and proximity-aware.…”

We explore how pervasive displays could offer unique opportunities for enhancing discovery and learning with "big data". In 2012-2014, our collaboration across three universities undertook a series of design exercises investigating approaches for collaborative, interactive, tangibles, and multitouch-engaged visualizations of genomic and related scientific datasets. These exercises led to several envisionments of tangible interfaces that employ active tokens and interactive surfaces to facilitate colocated and distributed engagement with large datasets. We describe some of the motivation and background for these envisioned interfaces; consider key aspects linking and distinguishing the designs; and relate these to the present and near-future state of the art for tangible and multitouch engagement with pervasive displays toward collaborative science. CCS CONCEPTS• Human-centered computing → User interface design; Interface design prototyping.

“…The previous examples cannot render advanced visual content in the device itself, or receive more integrated and direct touch input, which would expand the possibilities of tangible interfaces. An example of a more advanced graphics integration is the case of the Sifteo Cubes [8] [10]. Its creators included a small graphical interface as part of the tangible, although without any kind of actuation.…”

Touch displays moving autonomously, i.e., being selfactuated, are starting to be part of system prototypes reported in the literature. In the future, user interactions with such prototypes may take place while the display is moving. However, since current prototypes do not yet require this type of interaction, there is a lack of empirical evidence reporting issues related to touch input in such conditions. This leads us to propose two basic questions: Can we request users to deliver touch gestures during the actuation? Which aspects should we take into account when having touch input in these moving devices? In order to start to answer these questions, we report in this paper a first study to get an insight into how people perform and feel it when they have to carry out touch input on a self-actuated tablet. The preliminary results show that the self-actuated tablet does not necessarily need to be still during touch interaction, and that single-touch gestures based on drag or tap are preferable over others. Furthermore, the results also revealed an issue with tap gestures because of the movement of the tablet.
