Chapter 6
Opportunity 1.4
Inspired by Materials
Abstract
While the other Opportunity chapters about touch and feeling are centered on human activities, this chapter takes a distinct turn to the techie. We review a range of interaction technologies from tangible user interfaces to ultrahaptics to illustrate what advanced and emerging digital-physical materials might enable.
