TexelBlocks: Dynamic Surfaces for Physical Interactions
Extended Abstracts of the 2021 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing …, 2021•dl.acm.org
We present TexelBlocks, modular blocks that dynamically change their surfaces to support
rich physical interactions. The core component of each block is a motorized crawler belt with
a set of material patches attached to it, allowing each of the TexelBlocks to change their
surface independently and be concatenated into flat surfaces of various sizes. We
implemented a working system that controls 24 TexelBlocks to form 6× 4 dynamic surfaces.
With the working prototype, we developed five applications such as context-aware surface …

The core component of each block is a motorized crawler belt with a set of material patches attached to it, allowing each of the TexelBlocks to change their surface independently and be concatenated into flat surfaces of various sizes. We implemented a working system that controls 24 TexelBlocks to form 6 × 4 dynamic surfaces. With the working prototype, we developed five applications such as context-aware surface adaptation, real-time tactile feedback, immersive storytelling with dynamic background, real-time embodied platform game, and a surface-changing board game to demonstrate rich physical interactions of dynamic surfaces.
