与现有的具有刚性形状、预先确定的控件选择和固定布局的计算机输入设备不同，可塑控制结构是由一组可以在控制区域上自由布置的控件组成的。用户在操作过程中可以对结构进行物理调整：控制区域和控件可以引入、组织和移除，以适应交互需求和个人偏好。我们提出了一个名为VoodooIO的可伸缩控制结构的实现。我们的设计提供了一种新颖的材料-网络基板-可用于将日常表面转换为控制区域，以及实现基本控制单元（如按钮，滑块或刻度盘）作为自组织网络节点的概念。VoodooIO本身不构成应用程序接口。像任何输入设备一样，它只在特定应用程序的上下文中作为接口组件而具体化。我们将软件化的概念介绍为一组技术和实践，这些技术和实践允许用户在许多具体的使用场景中受益于可扩展的控制接口。
Rather than existing as a computer input device with a rigid shape, a predetermined selection of controls and a fixed layout, a malleable control structure is made up of a set of controls that can be freely arranged on control areas. The structure is physically adaptable by users during operation: control areas and controls can be introduced, organized and removed to suit interaction requirements and personal preference.We present an implementation of a malleable control structure called VoodooIO. Our design contributes a novel material -- the network substrate - that can be used to transform everyday surfaces into control areas, and the concept of implementing basic control units (such as buttons, sliders or dials) as ad hoc network nodes.VoodooIO does not constitute an application interface in itself. Like any input device, it only becomes concrete as an interface component in the context of a particular application. We introduce the concept of softwiring as a collection of techniques and practices that allow users to benefit from malleable control interfaces in a number of concrete scenarios of use.
