Proposal of a Tactile Paper Interface using a Tablet Device

Abstract

In this study, we focus on a texture of papers, propose a tactile paper interface using a tablet device, to extend touchscreen interface. Combining a paper with a tablet device, the system enables the use of various tactile prompt that papers have, as touch switch. A user touches tactile prompt on a paper, can read context to move fingers. Also, a user gets visual and auditory feedback provided in conjunction with own finger movement, can manipulate spontaneously. We developed the prototype system and application, that a user can edit configuration and parameter of switch on paper arbitrarily.
