The MADE-Axis - A Modular Actuated Device to Embody the Axis of a Data Dimension

Explore a 27-minute conference talk from the ACM Interactive Surfaces and Spaces Conference that introduces the MADE-Axis, a modular actuated device designed to embody the axis of a data dimension. Delve into the innovative approach of decomposing a bespoke controller for immersive data visualization into a simple, wireless, composable unit featuring two actuated sliders and a rotary encoder. Discover how these controller units explore interaction opportunities around actuated sliders, supporting precise selection, infinite scrolling, adaptive data representations, and rich haptic feedback within a mode-less interaction space. Learn about the device's applications in simple desktop interactions and more complex multi-dimensional interactions in VR and AR. Gain insights into the flexibility and composability of these actuated controllers and the emergent design space for interaction they provide.
