Programmable matter represents a system of elements whose interactions can be
programmed for a certain behavior to emerge (eg, color, shape) upon suitable commands …

Haptic feedback has become crucial to enhance the user experiences in Virtual Reality
(VR). This justifies the sudden burst of novel haptic solutions proposed these past years in …

We introduce shape-changing swarm robots. A swarm of self-transformable robots can both
individually and collectively change their configuration to display information, actuate …

We introduce PoCoPo, the first handheld pin-based shape display that can render various
2.5 D shapes in hand in realtime. We designed the display small enough for a user to hold it …

Current head-mounted displays enable users to explore virtual worlds by simply walking
through them (ie, real-walking VR). This led researchers to create haptic displays that can …

We introduce HERMITS, a modular interaction architecture for self-propelled Tangible User
Interfaces (TUIs) that incorporates physical add-ons, referred to as mechanical shells. The …

We present TilePoP, a new type of pneumatically-actuated interface deployed as floor tiles
which dynamically pop up by inflating into large shapes constructing proxy objects for whole …

In this paper, we introduce MagKnitic, a novel approach to integrate passive force feedback
and binary sensing into fabrics via digital machine knitting. Our approach utilizes digital …

(Dis) Appearables is an approach for actuated Tangible User Interfaces (TUIs) to appear
and disappear. This technique is supported by Stages: physical platforms inspired by …

This paper introduces text-to-shape-display, a novel approach to generating dynamic shape
changes in pin-based shape displays through natural language commands. By leveraging …
