Projectagami is a foldable mobile device that leverages simple 2D origami form to give applications new affordances: enabling rapid customization of the device shape. This bridges the gap between differently sized touch screen devices, and enables a novel and mobile form of split screen touch interaction that deviates from traditional rectangular form. We show how a flexible mobile device with unrestricted folding can create more realistic and augmented experiences: building on people's existing abilities to manipulate real world objects. We demonstrate this with shape enhanced "Wizard of Oz" demo applications including a book, online shopping, a board game, street navigation, and a dynamic browser. Our prototype is tracked with a Kinect and uses a projector for visual output. In the future, we envision devices like Projectagami to be self-contained and extended to 3D form.
