ABSTRACT
We propose a method to create a physical interface that allows touch input to be transferred from an external surface attached to a touch panel. Our technique prints a grid having multiple conductive points using an FDM-based 3D printer. When the user touches the conductive points, touch input is generated. This allows the user to control the touch input at arbitrary locations on an XY plane. By arranging the structure of the conductive wiring inside a physical object, a variety of interfaces can be realized.

CAPath: 3D-Printed Interfaces with Conductive Points in Grid Layout to Extend Capacitive Touch Inputs
ISSWe propose a 3D-printed interface, CAPath, in which conductive contact points are in a grid layout. This structure allows not only specific inputs (e.g., scrolling or pinching) but also general 2D inputs and gestures that fully leverage the "touch ...
ExtensionSticker: A Proposal for a Striped Pattern Sticker to Extend Touch Interfaces and its Assessment
CHI '15: Proceedings of the 33rd Annual ACM Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsIn this study, we propose a striped pattern sticker called ExtensionSticker that allows a touch input to be transferred from an external source by simply attaching the sticker to a touch panel. This allows the user to input touches or continuous ...
A Tangible Interface to Realize Touch Operations on the Face of a Physical Object
UIST '16 Adjunct: Adjunct Proceedings of the 29th Annual ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and TechnologyIn this paper, we describe a tangible interface that can realize touch operations on a physical object. We printed physical objects that have conductive striped patterns using a multi-material 3D printer. The ExtensionSticker technique allows the user ...
