ImpAct is a haptic stylus which can change its length dynamically
and measure its orientation changes in 3 degrees of freedom. Combining
it with a 3D simulated projection rendering mechanism as
shown in Figure 2, it can make the illusion of going through a display
surface in to the digital space below(Figure 1). Furthermore,
once user get into the digital space, more realistic interactions with
digital objects are provided with kinesthetic haptic feedback by applying
force-feedback on the scalable stem.
ImpAct’s major novelty is in the collective interaction paradigm
provided by its scalable stem and Simulated Projection Rendering
(SPR). We call it “through surface interaction”. Above surface
interactions[Hilliges et al. 2009] and below surface interactions[
Wigdor et al. 2006] has been explored by previous research
work. We believe “through surface” paradigm will further extend
the interaction space for surface computing. Haptic cues generated
by the stylus further enhances the perception of the 3D space
and allow users to manipulate and probe objects within the surface
with multimodal feedback. Furthermore, we derived a set of haptic
stimulations possible with ImpAct’s capabilities and created a
haptic model for ImpAct.
2 Implementation
We have developed the length changeable stylus integrated with the
actuation system to provide feedback. Furthermore, we developed
the simulated projection rendering (SPR) mechanism by tracking
linear length changes and angular motion of ImpAct and projecting
them on the digital space. Tracking the users eye position is also an
important feature for SPR. ImpAct is designed so that user grips it

with an outer tube which consists of an inner shaft which can move
relative to user’s grip (Figure 3). Inner shaft is attached to an actuation
mechanism driven by a DC motor to provide kinesthetic haptic
sensation. Most of kinesthetic haptic devices made for HCI use a
grounding mechanism. In ImpAct, display surface itself is used as
the grounding. Orientation changes of ImpAct is tracked by a 3 dimensional
accelerometer/magnetometer mechanism and the length
changes are measured using a linear encoder. All measurements are
transmitted to the surface computer using a serial communication
channel and use to render the virtual stem and calculate relevant
haptic feedback.
ImpAct can be used as a general HCI tool, a 3D modeling tool in
CAD/CAM applications, in computer entertainment such as gaming
(Figure 1), in medical applications for probing, etc. We believe
ImpAct is able to open new interaction possibilities for surface
computing.
