Outline of Final Research Achievements

New interaction methods for wide-spread multi-touch surfaces in PCs or smart phones have been proposed and developed. These methods are based on everyday human actions, such as to grab a small stone and to use a piece of carbon paper,
We also have proposed new interaction methods using tangible objects on touch-surfaces. Objects including cylindrical mirrors, 3D printed objects with conductive material, thin film objects printed by conductive ink. In contrast to previous work using electric capacitive feature of material, we focused on electric resistance of materials. As a result, usual electrical resistance parts, such as fixed-value resistances. variable resistances, and sensors that convert values of pressure, temperature and light to electric resistance, can be embedded in our interaction devices.
We have presented the results on academic papers, international and domestic conferences and disclosed on our web pages. We also disclosed patents based on our study.
