ABSTRACT
In this paper, we propose a new system called xSlate, a stiffness controlled surface for shape changing interfaces. It is enabled by a deformable frame structure that consists of linear actuators, and an elastic skin surface that can configure its stiffness by pneumatic jamming. We describe the implementation methods of xSlate and how it can be used for future applications.

jamSheets: thin interfaces with tunable stiffness enabled by layer jamming
TEI '14: Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Tangible, Embedded and Embodied InteractionThis works introduces layer jamming as an enabling technology for designing deformable, stiffness-tunable, thin sheet interfaces. Interfaces that exhibit tunable stiffness properties can yield dynamic haptic feedback and shape deformation capabilities. ...
