PuPoP: Pop-up Prop on Palm for Virtual Reality
summary
PuPoP is a palm-worn pneumatic prop that inflates stacked PE airbags into sphere, cylinder, and box primitives, driven by air pumps, solenoid valves and pressure sensors; small props inflate in 0.9–2 s. Two user studies with 12 participants each measure a visual size acceptance range (upper bounds average 36.2% larger than physical) and compare PuPoP to Vive controller and free-hand — results show higher enjoyment and realism for many tasks, with softness and palm pressure noted as limitations.
