KnobSlider: A Shape-Changing Interface for Parameter Control
Résumé
Physical controls are widely used by professionals such as sound engineers or aircraft pilots. In particular knobs and sliders are the most prevalent in such interfaces. They have advantages over touchscreen GUIs, especially when users require quick and eyes-free control. However, their interfaces (e.g., mixing consoles) are often bulky and crowded. To improve this, we present KnobSlider, which combines the advantages of a knob and a slider in one unique, actuated, shape-changing device. KnobSlider's design is based on the results of contextual interviews with professionals who use physical controllers. A qualitative evaluation with professionals shows to which extent KnobSlider supports their requirements.
