Abstract:
Sensor-based pairing technology between digital objects for interactions are used widely (e.g., smart phone to Bluetooth headset). In addition, research about interactions between daily normal analog objects (e.g., a doll, Lego block) and digital objects has progressed and is also popular. However, such research can only involve interactions with pre-setup objects. The paired objects cannot be changed dynamically. In this paper, we propose a new analog-digital object pairing method by intuitive touch interactions using three-dimensional point cloud data. Several touch pairing methods are described in detail and paired objects are changed dynamically using the proposed method. In addition, a simple tangible interaction between two objects is described after pairing. Finally, we demonstrate the high recognition rate of the proposed method using experiments and describe our system’s contribution.
