Explore a groundbreaking conference talk on innovative tabletop computing techniques that revolutionized force-based interactions for multi-touch surfaces. Delve into the concept of "sticky tools," which combines sticky fingers, opposable thumbs, and virtual tools to enable full 6DOF manipulation using only multi-touch input. Discover how this paradigm enhances tabletop computing by providing users with a sense of embodiment with virtual objects. Learn about the parallels drawn between sticky tools and the discussion in Urp regarding the meaning of tangible devices. Gain insights into how designers can introduce complexity in controlling physical and virtual objects, and understand the implications for future interactive surface technologies. This 28-minute presentation, delivered at the ACM International Conference on Interactive Surfaces and Spaces in Tokyo, showcases the work that earned the ISS 2018 10-Year Impact Award.
