Deformable interfaces are emerging in HCI and prototypes show potential for non-rigid
interactions. Previous reviews looked at deformation as a material property of shape …

Shape-changing interfaces are physically tangible, interactive devices, surfaces, or spaces
that allow for rich, organic, and novel experiences with computational devices. Over the last …

We present iSoft, a single volume soft sensor capable of sensing real-time continuous
contact and unidirectional stretching. We propose a low-cost and an easy way to fabricate …

This paper presents theoretical and empirical results about user-defined gesture
preferences for squeezable objects by focusing on a particular object: a deformable cushion …

We introduce MultiSoft, a multilayer soft sensor capable of sensing real-time contact
localization, classification of deformation types, and estimation of deformation magnitudes …

We propose a novel, cost-effective soft sensor capable of detecting contact force, multiple
touch points, and reflecting sensor interaction in real-time with a 3D virtual surface …

We explore controller input mappings for games using a deformable prototype that
combines deformation gestures with standard button input. In study one, we tested discrete …

Motion capture technologies reconstruct human movements and have wide-ranging
applications. Mainstream research on motion capture can be divided into vision-based …

We explore the use of bend gestures in gaming with flexible devices and investigate the size
differences between smartphones and tablets. We conducted a study asking users to select …

Bend gestures can be used as a form of Around Device Interaction to address usability
issues in touchscreen mobile devices. Yet, it is unclear whether bend gestures can be easily …
