Today I read a paper titled “Lighting Control using Pressure-Sensitive Touchpads”
The abstract is:
We introduce a novel approach to control physical lighting parameters by means of a pressure-sensitive touchpad.
The two-dimensional area of the touchpad is subdivided into 5 virtual sliders, each controlling the intensity of a color (red, green, blue, yellow, and white).
The physical interaction methodology is modeled directly after ubiquitous mechanical sliders and dimmers which tend to be used for intensity/volume control.
Our abstraction to a pressure-sensitive touchpad provides advantages and introduces additional benefits over such existing devices.
