Knowledge is commonly socially constructed, through collaborative efforts towards shared objectives or by dialogues and challenges brought about by different persons' perspectives.

Withana, Anusha, Kondo, Makoto, Kakehi, Gota, Makino, Yasutoshi, Sugimoto, Maki and Inami, Masahiko (2010): ImpAct: enabling direct touch and manipulation for surface computing. In: Proceedings of the 2010 ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology 2010. pp. 411-412.

This paper explores direct touch and manipulation techniques for surface computing platforms using a special force feedback stylus named ImpAct (Immersive Haptic Augmentation for Direct Touch). Proposed haptic stylus can change its length when it is pushed against a display surface. Correspondingly, a virtual stem is rendered inside the display area so that user perceives the stylus immersed through to the digital space below the screen. We propose ImpAct as a tool to probe and manipulate digital objects in the shallow region beneath display surface. ImpAct creates a direct touch interface by providing kinesthetic haptic sensations along with continuous visual contact to digital objects below the screen surface.
