“…Corsten et al proposed using objects as ad hoc stand-ins for currently unavailable controllers [10]. While our work is similar to theirs, we specifically investigate repurposing objects and space around a mobile device and thus place special emphasis on determining appropriate settings.…”

For many people their phones have become their main everyday tool. While phones can fulfill many different roles they also require users to (1) make do with affordance not specialized for the specific task, and (2) closely engage with the device itself. We propose utilizing the space and objects around the phone to offer better task affordance and to create an opportunity for casual interactions. Such around-device devices are a class of interactors that do not require users to bring special tangibles, but repurpose items already found in the user's surroundings. In a survey study, we determine which places and objects are available to around-device devices. Furthermore, in an elicitation study, we observe what objects users would use for ten interactions.

“…Often, a workspace is instrumented with overhead cameras to track simple objects and their movements and map them to control functions, for example, iCon [6] repurposes physical objects to control other objects by augmenting them with a trackable paper label. Corsten et al [8] do the same without markers, using an over-head depth camera for pose estimation. Funk et al [13] present an augmented workspace in which everyday objects can be combined into personalized control widgets.…”

a) (b) (c) Figure 1. We present a concept and a prototype of a system for creating personalized user interfaces from paper. Users can cut out preferred shapes from paper and add interaction functionalities to them. The paper shapes and the user's fingers are tracked by an RGBD camera mounted above the interaction surface ( Figure 1a). Our processing pipeline recognizes and measures manipulations of the shapes (Figure 1b), such as movements and touches, which can be mapped to certain functions according to the assigned interactions, e.g. for controlling a toy rover as illustrated in Figure 1c. ABSTRACTUser interfaces rarely adapt to the specific user preferences or the task at hand. We present a method that allows to quickly and inexpensively create personalized interfaces from plain paper. Users can cut out shapes and assign control functions to these paper snippets via a simple configuration interface. After configuration, control takes place entirely through the manipulation of the paper shapes, providing the experience of a tailored tangible user interface. The shapes and assignments can be dynamically changed during use. Our system is based on markerless tracking of the user's fingers and the paper shapes on a surface using an RGBD camera mounted above the interaction space, which is the only hardware sensor required. Our approach and system are backed up by two studies where we determined what shapes and interaction abstractions users prefer, and verified that users can indeed employ our system to build real applications with paper snippet interfaces.
