Seminar
Toward “High-Resolution” Shape-Changing Devices
Speaker
Anne Roudaut
Institute
University of Bristol, UK
Time & Place
3 pm, Fri., 15 Feb., in 031, Erskine Building
All are welcome
Abstract
In this talk, I will be presenting my work toward enabling interactive devices to change their shapes on-demand in order to adapt to the functionalities they are likely to support. For instance a mobile device can turn into a console when the user is playing a game, thus creating a new shape affordance that satisfies the device functions and helps users to view and interact with it. I will present the recent advances in shape changing devices that have been growing in research labs as well as my own developments. In particular I will explain how I define the term “shape resolution” that adds to the existing term of “display resolution”, and I will show my work toward creating “high shape resolution” shape-changing devices.
Biography
Anne Roudaut is a research assistant in the Computer Science Department of the University of Bristol (UK). Her research aims at shaping the software and the hardware of the future interactive devices. She investigates the impact of non-planar touch surfaces on interaction and how to provide force feedbacks on touch screens. In her Ph.D., she studied how to leverage thumb input to create interaction techniques for small touch screens. Through her work, she intents to help designers create the best possible interfaces for the devices we will soon have in our hands. Before joining Bristol, she worked at the Hasso Plattner Institute (Germany) and at Telecom ParisTech (France).
