SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR A USER INTERACTION PROXY

Abstract:

Systems and methods for an Interaction Proxy are disclosed. One disclosed device includes a structure capable of defining at least a first shape at a first location and a second shape at a second location, the second shape configured to act as an interaction proxy; an actuator coupled to the structure and in communication with a processor, the actuator configured to receive a transition signal from the processor and, in response, transition the structure from the first shape to the second shape. The device also includes a sensor configured to sense an interaction with the structure and generate a sensor signal associated with the interaction and to transmit the sensor signal to the processor.
