Awesome write-up and effort for a PoC! The problem it’s solving, however, is not immediately obvious. So here’s the relevant (albeit not-so-convincing) passage:
> “but direct, vision-based interaction with soft silicone blobs embedded in a soft robot’s body may be an interesting option.”
- alanbernstein 3y agoThe action cam application is truly practical. I have one with three unlabeled buttons, and it's quite a pain to do anything directly with the device UI.
- volzo 3y agoThanks! About the problem: classic academic paper issue. Needs to be framed in a way so it might work for a paper. A lot of the original idea is shaved off, does not work, is not straightforward to explain, etc. and in the end it looks a bit like a solution without a problem. Original intention was to present a touch-sensitive lens cap for tangible interaction with (old) non-touchscreen devices. Soft robotics is not my research field, but they might be the ones that could use something similar.
