“…The collaboration may fully benefit from its members and their respective experiences and expertise, and save on travel expenses. In the future, we look forward to advances in physical telepresence experiences in which communication and remote control are yet more fluidly integrated (Leithinger et al, 2014).…”

The tsunami effect of the COVID-19 pandemic is affecting many aspects of scientific activities. Multidisciplinary experimental studies with international collaborators are hindered by the closing of the national borders, logistic issues due to lockdown, quarantine restrictions, and social distancing requirements. The full impact of this crisis on science is not clear yet, but the above-mentioned issues have most certainly restrained academic research activities. Sharing innovative solutions between researchers is in high demand in this situation. The aim of this paper is to share our successful practice of using web-based communication and remote control software for real-time long-distance control of brain stimulation. This solution may guide and encourage researchers to cope with restrictions and has the potential to help expanding international collaborations by lowering travel time and costs.

“…The videos served to inform those taking part about the state-of-the-art in shape-change research, and introduce the concepts of materiality in prototyping. The chosen works were: Physical Telepresence [29] (actuated interface); Protrude, Flow [24] (liquid interface); Lightcloth [21] (paper/cloth interface); Re-Flex [54] (bendable interface); Paddle [43] (foldable interface); Claytric Surface [36] (malleable interface); Obake [4] (elastic/inatable interface).…”

Shape-changing interfaces use physical change in shape as input and/or output. As the eld matures, it will move from technologydriven design toward more formal processes. However, this is challenging: end-users are not aware of the capabilities of shape-change, devices are dicult to demonstrate, and presenting single systems can`trap' userthinking into particular forms. It is crucial to ensure this technology is developed with requirements in mind to ensure successful end-user experiences. To address this challenge, we developed and tested (n=50) an approach that combines low-delity white-box prototypes and highdelity video footage with end-user diagram and scenario sketching to design context dependent devices. We analysed the outputs of our test process and identied themes in device design requirements, and from this constructed a shape-change stack model to support practitioners in developing, classifying, and synthesising end-user requirements for this novel technology.

“…305-325. e-ISSN: 1698-7802 located meetings by means of smart boards and digital Post-It notes (see for example Haller et al, 2010). MIT Media Lab's inFORM is a dynamic shape display that can render 3D content physically, so users can interact with the physical world around it, for example moving objects on the table's surface (Leithinger et al, 2014). Remote participants in video conferencing can be physically displayed, allowing a strong sense of presence.…”

We begin with the premise that data literacy is a fundamental facet of citizen education in this information age, and that an engaged citizenry in a democracy not only requires access to data, but also the capacity to manipulate and examine the data from multiple perspectives. The visualization of data elucidates trends and patterns in the phenomena that the data represents, and opens accessibility to understanding complicated human and natural processes represented by data sets. Research indicates that interacting with a visualization amplifies cognition and analysis. A single visualization may show only one facet of the data. To examine the data from multiple perspectives, engaged citizens need to be able to construct their own visualizations from a data set. Many tools for data visualization have responded to this need, allowing non-data experts to manipulate and gain insights into their data, but most of these tools are restricted to the computer screen, keyboard, and mouse. Cognition and analysis may be strengthened even more through embodied interaction with data. We present here the rationale for the design of a tool that allows users to probe a data set, through interactions with graspable (tangible) three-dimensional objects, rather than through a keyboard and mouse interaction. We argue that the use of tangibles facilitates understanding abstract concepts, and facilitates many concrete learning scenarios. Another advantage of using tangibles over screen-based tools is that they foster collaboration, which can promote a productive working and learning environment. We speculate that collaborative data exploration can be a productive educational activity for citizens in their communities and in the classroom, and we suggest our tool as a means to do this.
