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.

L'invention concerne selon plusieurs modes de concrétisation des systèmes et procédés pour interagir avec un ordinateur. Par exemple, un dispositif d'interface haptique est décrit, qui comprend un élément d'actionnement passif mince et souple, et un capteur. L'élément d'actionnement passif mince souple comprend au moins un bord non attaché qui est susceptible d'une manipulation, et le capteur est opérationnel pour détecter une manipulation de l'élément d'actionnement passif mince souple, et pour fournir une sortie correspondant à la manipulation détectée. Dans certains cas des modes de réalisation mentionnés ci-dessus, l'élément d'actionnement passif mince souple fournit une rétroaction haptique à un utilisateur fournissant la manipulation, et la rétroaction haptique simule la sensation haptique d'un papier comme par exemple une feuille de papier, une carte de jeu, un dossier à index, ou analogue.
