“…Another example involves aesthetics in wireless power transfer with decorative copper coils woven into interactive garments and wearables [28,29]. Alterwear [7], like our work, considers aesthetics and sustainability. Here, battery-less e-ink displays embedded in clothing, hats and footwear are programmed with visual designs using near-field communication.…”

The interactive, digital future with its seductive vision of Internet-of-Things connected sensors, actuators and displays comes at a high cost in terms of both energy demands and the clutter it brings to the physical world. But what if such devices were made of materials that enabled them to self-power their interactive features? And, what if those materials were directly used to build aesthetically pleasing environments and objects that met practical physical needs as well as digital ones? In this paper we introduce PV-Tiles-a novel material that closely couples photovoltaic energy harvesting and light sensing materials with digital interface components. We consider potential contexts, use-cases and light gestures surfaced through co-creation workshops; and, present initial technological designs and prototypes. The work opens a new set of opportunities and collaborations between HCI and material science, stimulating technical and design pointers to accommodate and exploit the material's properties.

“…Wearable displays offer new design opportunities for functionalities, interaction design, and aesthetics. Dierk et al [6] demonstrated different application domains for wearable displays, from notification to personal expression and social engagement. Information can be presented in a concrete way using texts, numbers, or icons, e.g., [22], as well as through symbolic and abstract visualisation.…”

We explore the potential of limited vocabulary wearable ambient displays and their preferred characteristics in communicating intimacy between couples at a distance. The research comprises two studies: a co-design workshop and a field study of the design concepts generated from the co-design workshops using low-fidelity prototypes. Our findings reveal that wearable ambient displays could potentially help to increase awareness and emotional connections between couples. A limited vocabulary display is considered as a complementary channel to a smartphone, supporting the communication of subtle and lightweight messages that the sender does not necessarily expect a response to. From the user studies, we identify the preferred characteristics, as well as the potential and challenges of low vocabulary wearable ambient displays.

“…For example, chained displays, have been proposed as a combination of several screens to create different form factors for interactive public displays [23]. At the same time, more provocative types arise such for example free-standing displays [24][25][26][27], personal displays [28], mobile devices [29][30][31], interactive shopping displays [32][33][34], and even battery-free patched wearable displays for opportunistic interactions [35]. Recently, more exotic forms of information displays are under research to support the full-color holographic presentation of visual information [36,37].…”

In the digital information world, visualizing information in public spaces has been implemented in various formats and for application contexts such as advertisement, useful information provision, and provision of critical information in the cases of accidents, natural disasters, etc. Among the different types of information displays, in this research work, the focus is given to the ones that extend the experience of people visiting cultural heritage institutions. To this end, the design and implementation of an interactive display case that aims to overcome the “non-touch policy” of museums are presented. This novel display allows visitors to get engaged with artifacts and information through touch-based interaction with the ambition to extend the target audience and impact of museum content. The conducted study demonstrates that the interactive display case is an effective solution for providing relevant information to visitors, enhancing their engagement with exhibits, and improving their overall experience. The proposed solution is user-friendly, engaging, and informative, making it ideal for museums and other public exhibit spaces.
