Approach For Flex Pad
★ Approach to capture the deformable object
○ Capturing the pose and detailed deformation
of a deformable surface from depth data in
real-time
★ enables users to interact
★ highly flexible projected displays
★ interactive
★ real-time applications
FlexPad
FlexPad Setup
★ Kinect camera
★ Projector
★ Sheet of paper
★ Foam or acrylic
★ Removal of hands and fingers
★ Global deformation model
★ How global deformation model
FlexPad Implementation
★ Exploring and analyzing volumetric
data sets
★ Animating virtual paper characters
★ Slicing through time in videos
Applications
★ Folding and very steep bending angles
★ Makes a trade-off
★ Not suitable for:
○ very sharp bends
○ Particular folds
○ Stretchable materials
Limitations...
Feasibility of FlexPad Evaluation★ Tracking performance
★ User performance of Deformation
Result★ Tracking performs very adequately even in challenging
realistic tasks.
★ Users are capable of using highly flexible displays with ease
Future works…
★ Touch input on deformable displays
★ Active flexible displays
★ Smart materials: programmable stiffness and
stretchability
