Reflective physical prototyping through integrated design, test, and analysis (2006, background): “Remote control of third party applications (especially Mac-romedia Flash) was a major concern – in fact, because such support was not integrated into the graphical tool, two student groups chose to develop their project with Phidgets [15], as it offers a Flash API .”
Enabling always-available input with muscle-computer interfaces (2009, background): “Even future looking research systems often focus on physical input devices [5].”
Autobiographical design in HCI research: designing and learning through use-it-yourself (2012, background): “Saul Greenberg Professor, Computer Science University of Calgary Toolkit [21], Media Space [41], Photos [36] Media Space: The MEdia Space connects Greenberg’s home and campus offices so students can interact with him when he telecommutes [41].”
Evaluation Strategies for HCI Toolkit Research (2018, background): “Phidgets [32], jQMultiTouch [76] and the Proximity Toolkit [64] are iconic examples where students in an advanced HCI class were given access to the toolkits and necessary hardware components to create interesting examples as a prompt.”

The Evolution of Research on Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (2009, background): “The first axis includes 'phidgets' and 'tangibles' (i.e., peripherals such as a brush, a sandbox, etc.) that enable more physical experience than the traditional mouse and keyboard (Greenberg & Fischett, 2001; Ishii & Ullmer, 1997), as well as the work on wearables and room ware.”
