BloomBeacon: Blooming Physical Touch Display Surfaces via Persistence-of-Vision Motion

We explore how a display surface can physically emerge on demand to support both mid-air visualization and direct touch interaction. We introduce blooming, a concept that repurposes Persistence-of-Vision (POV) motion to deploy a large, touchable surface from a compact, relocatable device. Using a soft, rotating line w…

Integrating Equity in Public Sector Data-Driven Decision Making: Exploring the Desired Futures of Underserved Stakeholders

Public sectors aim to innovate not just for efficiency but also to enhance equity. Despite the growing adoption of data-driven decision-making systems in the public sector, efforts to integrate equity as a primary goal often fall short. This typically arises from inadequate early-stage involvement of the underserved s…

TorqueCapsules: Fully-Encapsulated Flywheel Actuation Modules for Designing and Prototyping Movement-Based and Kinesthetic Interaction

Flywheels are unique, versatile actuators that store and convert kinetic energy to torque, widely utilized in aerospace, robotics, haptics, and more. However, prototyping interaction using flywheels is not trivial due to safety concerns, unintuitive operation, and implementation challenges. We present TorqueCapsules…

ThrowIO: Actuated TUIs that Facilitate "Throwing and Catching" Spatial Interaction with Overhanging Mobile Wheeled Robots

We introduce ThrowIO, a novel style of actuated tangible user interface that facilitates throwing and catching spatial interaction powered by mobile wheeled robots on overhanging surfaces. In our approach, users throw and stick objects that are embedded with magnets to an overhanging ferromagnetic surface where wheele…
