Pin-based shape displays can cause psychological harm by forcefully making tangible controls (dis)appear in contact with users. We present ShyPins, a pin-based shape display regulating pin motion based on proximity to the user’s body to prevent such incidents. A first user study reveals that for system-triggered actuation, gradually decreasing pins’ speed as users get closer is perceived as safer than pausing pins immediately when users are too close. For user-triggered actuation, the perceived safety of both strategies depends on user preferences. However, pausing a pin motion creates an incoherence between the physical artifact and the digital data. Thus, to inform users about paused pins, the safeguard projects pause icons and stop zones onto the pin-based surface. A second study reveals that projecting user-centered stop zones is perceived safer than pin-centered ones. Additionally, pin-based surfaces are perceived as less safe when users approach pins in motion than when pins approach users.< Leer menos
