About this paper

MacKenzie C. Harnett, Rebecca F. Friesen

The authors compare two ways to encode three-dimensional shapes for touch-only reconstruction: height maps assign discrete heights across a grid, while binary layers combine successive two-state maps into a shape. In a study, participants achieved high accuracy with both. For binary layers, pin-array assembly was faster than friction modulation (p = 0.029), but accuracy was near ceiling and not statistically tested.
