ABSTRACT
Inflatable interfaces are so far predominantly used for creating shape-change. There has not been much work yet on creating tactile textures in inflatables. We present a pneumatic approach for soft and malleable surfaces that can change texture. We describe the pattern design, the fabrication and actuation approach, and illustrate how one texture inflatable prototype was used for lab experiments, and indicate potential application areas.
