Abstract
This work proposed two designs of actuator array system, DynaFrame and DynaBase, to realize dynamic physical constraints on portable displays for facilitating stylus input. DynaFrame is a frame-like device consists of a miniaturized robot arm surrounding the display, allowing for manipulating the stylus placed on the display surface in the near surface 3D volume. DynaBase is a basestation-like actuation platform consists of an robot arm controlling a magnetic shaft , which can manipulate a physical constraint placed on a portable display that user docked on it. Both of dynamic constraint systems are portable, provide active force feedback as expressive and precise hard or soft constraints. The provided dynamic constraints therefore facilitate users performing stylus interactions without introducing significant occlusions on the portable display. Furthermore, we implement the system and evaluate its technical features. In this paper, we describe the details of the design and implementations of the device, along with applications, technical evaluations, and future prospects.
