TALKING TO THE HAND is about shape-change interaction
OVERVIEW PROPOSAL DESFORM 06
My thesis Talking to The Hand explores the opportunities for new interactive experiences emerging from shape shifting technologies. Morphing cube explored how could changing affordances reveal system statuses to a user. Observing blind-folded people read through touch animated shapes, inspired the TactoPhone in-the-pocket, on-the-go interaction & InfoTerrain 1 suggested that touching a morphing surface can inform, parallel to sight, web surfing. InSync an external hard drive prototype demonstrated a shape-change interaction with a backup utility, and InfoTerrain 2 a morphing mouse prototype, provided the experience of buttons appearing when needed to inform and perform.
