Thanks! About the problem: classic academic paper issue. Needs to be framed in a way so it might work for a paper. A lot of the original idea is shaved off, does not work, is not straightforward to explain, etc. and in the end it looks a bit like a solution without a problem.

Original intention was to present a touch-sensitive lens cap for tangible interaction with (old) non-touchscreen devices. Soft robotics is not my research field, but they might be the ones that could use something similar.
