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

Amberg, Michel, Giraud, Frederic, Semail, Betty, Olivo, Paolo, Casiez, Géry and Roussel, Nicolas (2011): STIMTAC: a tactile input device with programmable friction. In: Proceedings of the 2011 ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology 2011. pp. 7-8.

We present the STIMTAC, a touchpad device that supports friction reduction. Contrary to traditional vibrotactile approaches, the STIMTAC provides information passively, acting as a texture display. It does not transfer energy to the user but modifies how energy is dissipated within the contact area by a user-initiated friction process. We report on the iterative process that led to the current hardware design and briefly describe the software framework that we are developing to illustrate its potential.
