Zusammenfassung:We investigate the impact of integrating dynamic geometry environments with haptic devices, which allow users to not only see and manipulate geometric figures on a screen but also feel, through force-feedback, the result of interacting with such objects. The feedback loop can be assigned to varying attributes of objects, for example, the changing area of a deformable triangle, as well as invariant ones. We report preliminary findings from our work in informal settings. Our findings indicate that such experiences allow young children as well as undergraduates to yield expressive discourse that is intimately connected to the mathematical concepts being presented.
