We present the FuwaFuwa sensor module, a round, handsize, wireless device for measuring the shape deformations of soft objects such as cushions and plush toys. It can be embedded in typical soft objects in the household without complex installation procedures and without spoiling the softness of the object because it requires no physical connection. Six LEDs in the module emit IR light in six orthogonal directions, and six corresponding photosensors measure the reflected light energy. One can easily convert almost any soft object into a touch-input device that can detect both touch position and surface displacement by embedding multiple FuwaFuwa sensor modules in the object. A variety of example applications illustrate the utility of the FuwaFuwa sensor module. An evaluation of the proposed deformation measurement technique confirms its effectiveness.ACM Classification: H5.m. Information interfaces and presentation (e.g., HCI): Miscellaneous.

Abstract.We describe the development of a novel tangible interface we call the InterCUBE, a cube-shaped device with no external buttons or widgets. We study the implications of such a shape in terms of interactions, notably the degrees of freedom available and the manipulations possible. We also explain and investigate the merging of the action, perception and interaction spaces, and we design the InterCUBE interaction accordingly. To investigate the system we have implemented a demonstration application: a shopping menu, in which users can navigate through a menu simply by turning the cube in either one of the four possible directions. We have evaluated the InterCUBE in comparison to an equivalent mouse based interface and discuss the results.

“…For highly 3-D shape deformations, e.g., twisting the whole shape while bending it, however, these tools are not appropriate because they often require some combination of indirect opemtions and do not provide users with direct and intuitive facilities. To solve the problem, we propose the use of deformable objects as input tools (DO-IT) for direct and intuitive 3-D shapedeformation [1]. BASIC CONCEPT Figure 1 shows the basic concept of the DO-IT system.…”

Standard input tools such as the mouse and keyboard do not provide users with a direct and intuitive means of 3-D shape manipulation.This study proposes a new concept of interface system for 3-D shape deformation using a deformable real object as an input tool. By deforming the tool with bare hands with a tactile feedback, users can manipulate a 3-D shape modeled and displayed on a computer screen directly and intuitively.A PC-based prototype system with a cubical input tool made of electrically conductive polyurethane foam demonstrates the effectiveness and promise of the concept.
