Today a tremendous amount of audio and visual information is stuffed onto the flat displays of smart phones. It is no doubt a very convenient age, but a little bit uniform. Our research focuses on interfaces with dynamic movements and interfaces that can change their own shape dynamically [1][2]. We have developed a box-shaped device called PocoPoco which controls the movement of columnar units with built-in solenoid actuators and utilizes them to give users dynamic tactile sensations (see Figure 1). PocoPoco is an input/output device that can be used without visual information, because it can indicate all input/output information through tactile sensations. This device is a versatile interface that can be used in a wide range of applications including games, telecommunication, and musical performance. It was conceived as a "new kind of interface which can be used by both people with visual impairments and people with normal vision". |
