Abstract

This paper describes a novel approach to haptic interface that transmits information through dynamic interaction. The approach is based on the idea of emulating an object that causes dynamic reaction, such as a box with content inside, using a mechanical device. Hence, the device should be designed as an object-oriented and self-contained form that can be handled similarly to the real object. Implementation of a prototype device that materializes this idea is introduced, and a possibility of expanding the idea into various scales of interaction and different modality is also discussed.
