Abstract

TactileTape is a one-dimensional touch sensor that looks and behaves like regular tape. It can be constructed from everyday materials (a pencil, tin foil, and shelf liner) and senses single-touch input on curved and deformable surfaces. It is used as a roll of touch sensitive material from which designers cut pieces to quickly add touch sensitive strips to physical prototypes. TactileTape is low-cost, easy to interface, and, unlike current non-planar touch solutions [2,7,11], it is better adapted for the rapid exploration and iteration in the early design stage.
