ABSTRACT
In this panel, we explore the role emerging transitive materials, like flexible thin-film displays, multi-touch input skins, e-textiles, micro-actuators and Claytronics might play in re-defining the human interface towards a programmable form of reality. Panelist will extrapolate historical trends from Tangibles to new developments in organic user interfaces, trying to identify a future in which interfaces will no longer be predominantly flat, but instead have any possible shape or form: from skins that are foldable, flexible and physical to three-dimensional products that are fully kinetic.

Second international workshop on organic user interfaces
TEI '11: Proceedings of the fifth international conference on Tangible, embedded, and embodied interactionAdvances in display, sensor and actuator technology are changing the field of TEI, and opening new research areas. While modern interfaces have been designed for traditional planar and static display devices, next-generation UI allow digital objects to ...
Shape-changing interfaces: a review of the design space and open research questions
CHI '12: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsShape change is increasingly used in physical user interfaces, both as input and output. Yet, the progress made and the key research questions for shape-changing interfaces are rarely analyzed systematically. We review a sample of existing work on shape-...
Jamming user interfaces: programmable particle stiffness and sensing for malleable and shape-changing devices
UIST '12: Proceedings of the 25th annual ACM symposium on User interface software and technologyMalleable 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 ...
