MORPHING CUBE  conveys an object status through shape-change
BRIEF STATUSES PROCESS
What concerns users of external hard drives? A quick survey among intense users brought up three statuses that made the participants worried.
Volume, how much space is available on the drive?
Activity, is it safe to disconnect the drive from the computer?
Synchronization, How updated is the backup on the drive?
The prototypes (photos) confronted aspects as shell Vs. structure or texture Vs. feature, and showed an interesting relation between the message and the "energy" spent to deliver it. More successful shape transformation had a subtle, almost nonchalant quality to them. The proposed interaction is shown on the videos.
