HOT MOVES: SHAPE-CHANGING AND THERMAL
INTERFACES
SESSION CHAIR: Lars Erik Holmquist, Yahoo!
PAPER | “Baby It’s Cold Outside”: The Influence of
Ambient Temperature and Humidity on Thermal Feedback
Martin Halvey, Graham Wilson, Stephen Brewster, University of
Glasgow, UK
Stephen Hughes, SAMH Engineering, Ireland
We investigate the impact of ambient temperature and humidity
on the use of thermal interfaces. The outcome of our evaluations
are a set of design recommendations.
PAPER | PINOKY: A Ring That Animates Your Plush Toys
Yuta Sugiura, Calista Lee, Masayasu Ogata, Anusha Withana,
Yasutoshi Makino, Keio University, Japan
Daisuke Sakamoto, JST ERATO Igarashi Design Interface Project,
Japan
Masahiko Inami, Keio University, Japan
Takeo Igarashi, JST ERATO Igarashi Design Interface Project, Japan
PINOKY is a wireless ring-like device that can be externally
attached to any plush toy as an accessory that animates the toy by
moving its limbs.
PAPER | Shape-Changing Interfaces: A Review of the
Design Space and Open Research Questions
Majken Rasmussen, Aarhus School of Architecture, Denmark
Esben Pedersen, University of Copenhagen, Denmark
Marianne Petersen, University of Aarhus, Denmark
Kasper Hornbæk, University of Copenhagen, Denmark
Reviews work on physical interfaces that use shape change as input
or output, so-called shape-changing interfaces. Provide an
overview of the design space of such interfaces and identify open
research questions.

NOTE | MimicTile: A Variable Stiffness Deformable User
Interface for Mobile Devices
Yusuke Nakagawa, JST ERATO Igarashi Design Interface Project,
Japan
Akiya Kamimura, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
Science and Technology, Japan
Yoichiro Kawaguchi, JST ERATO Igarashi Design Interface Project,
Japan
Describes a user interface that can recognize deformation-based
gestures and provide haptic feedback. Presents engineers and
researchers with the methods to control SMAs and to recognize
gestures.
NOTE | Animating Paper Using Shape Memory Alloys
Jie Qi, Leah Buechley, Massachusetts Institute of Technology,
USA
Presents mechanisms and design guidelines for using shape
memory alloys to actuate paper. We believe that blending paper
with electronics is promising for engaging diverse audiences in
building electronics.
