The Paper Phone
May 7th, 2011
Researchers at the Human Media Lab at Queen’s University, Canada and Arizona State University’s Motivational Environments Research group have created a prototype electronic paper phone. The PaperPhone prototype was created to observe how easy it was for people to control a thin device using a series of interactions which include bending and flexing. The research found 8 individual bend gesture patterns and apparently there are around 174 ways to bend electronic paper. Learn more about the PaperPhone experiment at the Human Media Lab.
