چکیده
This thesis takes a material perspective on designing transformable interfaces. The structure of material and mechanical properties such as stiffness, can determine not only its static performances, but also, with the help of external forces, support dynamic shape change. By encoding structural or stiffness distribution in the actuated materials, we can partially offload the shape-changing control from actuators (digital) to the material itself (analogue), in order to achieve expressive transformations that current modularized actuation system cannot easily provide. The implementation of this thesis will be three series of material primitives and three application prototypes that demonstrate the real world potential of this research.

متن کاملJamming user interfaces: Programmable particle stiffness and sensing for malleable and shape-changing devices Citation
Malleable and organic user interfaces have the potential to enable radically new forms of interactions and expressiveness through flexible, free-form and computationally controlled shapes and displays. This work, specifically focuses on particle jamming as a simple, effective method for flexible, shape-changing user interfaces where programmatic control of material stiffness enables haptic feed...
متن کاملSome Challenges of Designing Shape Changing Interfaces
In this paper we describe some challenges we find in the design of shape changing user interfaces through our own work and thoughts on the current state of the art in HCI. Due to the large set of possibilities for shape changing materials we are faced with a too-large constraint system. Without a good understanding and the beginning of a standardization or physical language for shape change it ...
متن کاملHybrid hydrogel sheets that undergo pre-programmed shape transformations.
This communication describes a novel strategy to achieve programmable shape transformation of hybrid hydrogel sheets by modulating both the in-plane and out-of-plane mismatches in mechanical properties. Both our experimental and computational results demonstrate that the shape transformation of hybrid hydrogel sheets shows rich features (e.g., rolling direction, axis, chirality, etc.) and versa...
متن کاملTangible Holograms: Towards Mobile Physical Augmentation of Virtual Objects
The last two decades have seen the emergence and steady development of tangible user interfaces. While most of these interfaces are applied for input—with output still on traditional computer screens—the goal of programmable matter and actuated shape-changing materials is to directly use the physical objects for visual or tangible feedback. Advances in material sciences and flexible display tec...
