Haptic Pen: A Tactile Feedback Stylus for Touch Displays

In this paper we present a system for providing tactile feedback for stylus-based touch-screen displays. The Haptic Pen is a simple low-cost device that provides individualized feedback for multiple simultaneous users and can operate on large input displays as well as ordinary surfaces. We combine a pressure-sensitive stylus with a small solenoid to generate a wide range of tactile sensations. ...

A new modeling interface for the pen-input displays

Sketch interactions based on interpreting multiple pen markings into a 3D shape is easy to design but not to use. First of all, it is difficult for the user to memorize a complete set of pen markings for a certain 3D shape. Secondly, the system will be waiting for the user to complete the sequence of the pen markings, often causing a certain mode error. To address these problems, we present a n...

A sketch based modeling interface for pen input displays

This thesis presents new contributions to the area of pen-based interfaces for 3D shape modeling: (1) a simple but efficient algorithm for segmenting markings of pen input, (2) an interaction framework for pen-based applications, and (3) based on these two, a new 3D modeling environment. The segmentation of pen markings is a hidden difficulty in the development of a penbased application. It is ...

Gestural Communication with Accelerometer-based Input Devices and Tactile Displays

In this work, we introduce a communication system for common military hand and arm gestures which does not require a visual connection between the transmitter and receivers. Specifically, we present a computermediated gesture recognition system that employs a wireless, accelerometer-based input device for collecting and classifying oneand two-hand and arm gestures. This system delivers message ...
