title = "ForceForm: A dynamically deformable interactive surface",
abstract = "We present the design and implementation of ForceForm, a prototype dynamically deformable interactive surface that provides haptic feedback. We use an array of electromagnets and a deformable membrane with permanent magnets attached to produce a deformable interactive surface. The system has a fast reaction time, enabling dynamic interaction. ForceForm supports user input by physically deforming the surface according to the user's touch and can visualise data gathered from other sources as a deformed plane. We explore possible usage scenarios that illustrate benefits and features of the system and we outline the performance of the system",
