An Interface for Generating Senses of Tearing with Hook-and-Loop Fasteners

Abstract

The tearing action is a kind of common ones in day-to-day life. Some of us enjoy that, and it is useful to let the stress out. We are interested in this phenomenon. For this reason, we propose a novel interface that allows users to experience tearing a real piece of paper using hook-and-loop fasteners and DC motor. We make the prototype and consider user feedback.
