Sharing Perspectives on the Design of Shape-Changing Interfaces

In recent years, several workshops and an increasing number of scientific publications have focused on shape-changing interfaces. This work has explored prototypes, theory and evaluations across a variety of domains, including: aesthetic experience, affective computing, adaptive affordances, data visualisation, and remote communication support, to name only a few. The aim of this workshop is to bring to light and discuss the different underlying perspectives and visions on shape-changing interfaces within the community, arriving at a shared, cross-discipline vocabulary for discussing the design space. Participants will share their personal perspective and explore others' perspectives through hands-on prototyping and facilitated sketching tasks. Leaving this workshop, participants will be equipped with a clearer understanding of the different concepts being explored within the community and with a vocabulary through which to describe the intricacies and considerations of their work in the future.
