Great post.
Has there been any interaction research done on using something like a stress ball as an interaction device for digital environment? In my imagination a ball would have standard accelerometers and gyroscopes, but in addition fine-grained sensing capabilities to sense different kind of grips. It could also provide tactile feedback.
- pandakar 15y agoMusic tech has been wrestling with novel controllers including several like the kind you speak of for a while now: http://www.nime.org http://www.nime.org. Take a look through some of those conference notes for ideas. This is from 2003: http://nime.org/2003/nime03_program.html http://nime.org/2003/nime03_program.html
- raphman 15y agoActually, we (me and a student) have built exactly such a device this year. Did not have time to finish and evaluate it yet, however. Some papers on grasp interaction with spherical objects: Tango: www.cs.mcgill.ca/~kry/pubs/iser/iser.pdf Graspables: www.media.mit.edu/~vmb/papers/chi09.pdf Grasp Sensing for HCI (my paper, more generic): http://www.medien.ifi.lmu.de/pubdb/publications/pub/wimmer2011GRASP/wimmer2011GRASP.pdf http://www.medien.ifi.lmu.de/pubdb/publications/pub/wimmer20...
- dirtyaura 15y agoThat's awesome! What kind of system you use to sense different grips, i.e. what kind of sensors there are inside the "ball".
