Using tangible drawing tools on a capacitive multi-touch display
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an innovative drawing tool that can detect tangible drawing instruments on a capacitive multi-touch tablet. There are three core components to the system: the tangible hardware, the recognizer used to identify the tangibles, and the drawing application. Our tangible drawing instruments include a ruler, protractor and set square. Users can apply these familiar physical instruments to construct digital ink drawings on a tablet in an intuitive and engaging manner. The user evaluation shows that the tangible drawing tools are easy to use and have a high rate of recognition on the touch screen.

متن کاملExploring How Tangible Tools Enable Collaboration in a Multi-touch Tabletop Game
Digital tabletop surfaces afford multiple user interaction and collaboration. Hybrid tabletops that include both tangible and multi-touch elements are increasingly being deployed in public settings (e.g. Microsoft Surface, reacTable). Designers need to understand how the different characteristics of tangible and multi-touch interface elements affect collaborative activity on tabletops. In this ...
متن کاملSQUEEZY: Extending a Multi-touch Screen with Force Sensing Objects for Controlling Articulatory Synthesis
This paper describes Squeezy: a low-cost, tangible input device that adds multi-dimensional input to capacitive multi-touch tablet devices. Force input is implemented through force sensing resistors mounted on a rubber ball, which also provides passive haptic feedback. A microcontroller samples and transmits the measured pressure information. Conductive fabric attached to the finger contact are...
متن کاملAlternate Fabrication Approaches for Tangible Knobs on Capacitive Commodity Devices
After decades of research and practice, the tangible interface community still contemplates the question of what tangibles might look and act like as they grow common. This paper discusses some fabrication techniques and commercial examples of a class of tangibles embodied as cylinders, wheels, or knobs that can function with mass-market multi-touch devices. We consider laser cut knobs, 3D prin...
متن کاملTouchKeys: Capacitive Multi-Touch Sensing on a Physical Keyboard
Capacitive touch sensing is increasingly used in musical controllers, particularly those based on multi-touch screen interfaces. However, in contrast to the venerable piano-style keyboard, touch screen controllers lack the tactile feedback many performers find crucial. This paper presents an augmentation system for acoustic and electronic keyboards in which multi-touch capacitive sensors are ad...
