<p>Various embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for interacting with a computer. For example, a haptic interface device is disclosed that includes a thin, flexible passive actuating element and a sensor. The thin, flexible passive actuating element includes at least one unattached edge that is susceptible to manipulation, and the sensor is operable to detect a manipulation of the thin, flexible passive actuating element and to provide an output corresponding to the detected manipulation. In some cases of the aforementioned embodiments, the thin, flexible passive actuating element provides a haptic feedback to a user providing the manipulation, and the haptic feedback simulates the haptic sensation of paper such as, for example a sheet of paper, a playing card, an index folder or the like.</p> |
