PocoPoco: A Tangible Device That Allows Users To Play Dynamic Tactile Interaction
PocoPoco was created by a research team that focuses on interfaces that can change their own shapes dynamically. It is a box-shaped device that uses built-in solenoid actuators to control the movement of cylindrical units and deliver dynamic tactile sensations.
With its simple, intuitive tactile interface, PocoPoco can be used in a variety of applications that would normally employ a more "functional" device, such as a keyboard, that allows users to engage in a virtual world without being conscious of their physical manipulation and sensory input/output experience.
A musical variation of the system, PocoSeqencer, allows users to easily create aural and visual components of a performance at the same time by simply pushing cylindrical actuators.
