Goal:
bring custom-shaped physical controls to mobile touch devices
SLIDE 10
Rock-Paper-Fibers
SLIDE 11
Main Idea:
create physical affordance by reshaping the device
SLIDE 12
SLIDE 13
Main Idea:
create physical affordance by reshaping the device this limits users to one widget at a time, but it is efficient using bimanual interaction
SLIDE 14 Benefit/Contribution:
- physical affordance by deforming
the device as to best match the interaction at hand
- mobility by serializing the interaction
SLIDE 15 Limitations:
- repeated reconfiguration requires
additional time and manual skills
- the range of widgets is limited
we address both later with wedges&clamps

Guessing Game: slider or play button
SLIDE 22
SLIDE 23 Challenge:
- fiber location is meaningless
- however, number of touched fibers
is meaningful
SLIDE 24 # touched fiber t t # touched fiber
count the number of touched fiber over time

Conclusion
SLIDE 45
- bring physical affordance to mobile
touch devices
Rock-paper-fibers:
- additional expressiveness by using wedges
and clamps
- users reshape the touch device itself
SLIDE 46
Vision :: touch pads that we can really reconfigure
SLIDE 47
we think of rock-paper-fibers as a reconfigurable touch pad
SLIDE 48 Lahey, B., et al. PaperPhone. CHI ’11.
we just started to bend devices...
SLIDE 49 Wimmer, R., and Baudisch, P . Touch using TDR. UIST ’11.
…we have started to stretch touch devices...
SLIDE 50
…but this is just the first step
SLIDE 51
reconfigure the device into whatever it takes to best support our task at hand
SLIDE 52
we think of rock-paper-fibers as the first step in this direction
