“…On the other hand, we think that the low frequency of product properties among the constructs raise optimism for complementary models of shape-change; models that emphasize the experience of such interfaces. A few earlier papers have explored dimensions related to some of those that we elicited (e.g., Hemmert and colleagues in [21,22]), but we believe the categorization of constructs in the present paper is the first systematic mapping of this space. Note that the repertory grid procedure does not automatically result in non-product properties; Hertzum et al [23] also used repertory grid interviews on interactive products and found many more product properties than we do.…”

“…Energy, for instance, seems to concern movement speed as evidenced by constructs like Hasty and Calm. Territoriality relates to approach and avoidance behavior, and may be mapped indirectly to movement (like Hemmert et al [21,22] have done). How to map many of the other categories to shapes and transformations among shapes remains hard.…”

Technologies for shape-changing user interfaces are rapidly evolving, but our understanding of the design space of such interfaces is still limited. We report a repertory grid study that aims to describe the design space from the users' point of view by eliciting personal constructs about shapechange. The study is based on six similar-sized, shapechanging artifacts that combine simple sensing of users with actuation that change volume, texture, and orientation. Our results show that the 18 respondents distinguish artifacts on dimensions that differ from those of most models of shape change. For instance, they characterize shape-change in terms of personality, territoriality, and state of mind, in addition to more common categories such as appearance and product properties. We discuss how the dimensions derived from users might be used to design shape-changing interfaces.

“…A few examples of SCI showcase the actuation mechanism, either fully or partly, and thereby indicating the possibility to transform. Examples include Animate Mobiles [20], see Figure 7, which consist of a transparent acrylic box with a visible servo motor inside. Another example is Amphorm [29], a Kinetic Sculpture where the actuators are visible between each of the transparent actuated layers.…”

Affordances is an important term in the field of Shape-Changing Interfaces (SCI). But the field is challenged by a multitude of vaguely defined concepts around affordances such as dynamic, spatial, or tactile affordances. In line with this, Alexander et al [1] recently pointed to lack of theory as one of the grand challenges for SCI. This paper proposes a re-analysis of Gibson for resolving the conceptual cacophony in the field of SCI. Essential to the ecological approach to affordances, is that perception is dynamic and people pick up information through exploring objects and environments over time. From this perspective, affordances of Shape-Changing Interfaces become a matter of providing Information-through the design-regarding a) the interfaces' ability to transform its shape and b) how movement suggests level of animacy. Through analyzing scholarly SCI prototypes, from this perspective, we provide an initial set of design strategies for affordances of shapechanging interfaces.

“…Some works explored biological motions [20] to express certain emotions of the interface. For instance, DEVA [7] presented excitement through ear wiggling, and Animate mobiles [15] moved up its head toward the user to show affection.…”

Users interact with many reconfigurable objects in daily life. These objects embed reconfigurations and shapechanging features that users are familiar with. For this reason, everyday reconfigurable objects have informed the design and taxonomy of shape changing UI. However, they have never been explored systematically. In this paper, we present a data set of 82 everyday reconfigurable objects that we collected in a workshop. We discuss how they can inspire the design of reconfigurable interfaces. We particularly focus on taxonomies of reconfigurable interfaces. Taxonomies have been suggested to help design and communication among researchers, however despite their extensive use, taxonomies are rarely evaluated. This paper analyses two established taxonomies -Rasmussen's and Roudaut's -using daily reconfigurable objects. We show relationships between the taxonomies and area for improvements. We propose Morphees+, a refined taxonomy based on Roudaut's Shape Resolution Taxonomy.
