We describe the design process, technical concept and first insights from a lightweight in-the-wild evaluation of a movable interface for public places. Our wider aim is to understand how the environment can be utilized for novel interface types. Our moveable prototypes are an intermediate step that confirmed known behavioral patterns in public space but also revealed new ones (e.g. creative inclusion of urban furniture and trees) as a result of having multiple objects within a larger interaction space.
