Abstract

We present Recompose, a new system for manipulation of an actuated surface. By collectively utilizing the body as a tool for direct manipulation alongside gestural input for functional manipulation, we show how a user is afforded unprecedented control over an actuated surface. Our invention consists of the actuated surface and the interaction technique utilizing free-hand and touch gestures to manipulate the 3D geometry of the pin array, thus changing the of shape of the virtual object.
