Materiable: Rendering Dynamic Material Properties in Response to Direct Physical Touch with ...
summary
A proof-of-concept system uses a pin-based shape display plus a physics emulator (virtual spring grid and shallow-water equations) to render deformable solids and liquids and control three variables: flexibility elasticity viscosity. Ten participants (ages 22–35) reliably differentiate those settings by touch and motion despite no per-pin force actuation; users probe with hands, body and face. Implementation runs real-time touch detection and shape output but remains limited to vertical pins and limited force/immersion.
