- Abstract
- This paper introduces a novel smartphone bumper case providing an interactive touch sense and a realistic physical feeling. The thin and rapidly responding film-like actuator installed in the case simulates a physical response. A battery and a wireless communication controller are also embedded for the implementation of a stand-alone device. As the case is designed to be assembled with a smartphone and the assembly does not require any hardware revision of the smartphone, the proposed device has high compatibility with current consumer products. We designed a software structure guaranteeing a real-time physical response. The API can be used to provide realistic touch response and a user test is conducted for a comparison with the conventionally used vibrator in a mobile device. © 2012 Springer-Verlag.
