“…Form giving is the domain of our interests, and we designed Illuminating Clay and SandScape [4] for landscape design integrating manual sculpting and computational analysis into a single tangible media: clay and sand. While they represent the spirit of Tangible Bits, the clay and sand do not have any memory of shape nor the capability to display dynamic changes, like mountain formations or erosions.…”

TRANSFORM fuses technology and design to celebrate the transformation from a piece of static furniture to a dynamic machine driven by streams of data and energy. TRANSFORM aims to inspire viewers with unexpected transformations, as well as the aesthetics of a complex machine in motion. This paper describes the concept, engine, product, and motion design of TRANSFORM, which was first exhibited at LEXUS DESIGN AMAZING 2014 MILAN in April 2014.

“…In their unjammed states, jamming user interfaces with flexible skins allow deformation and manipulation, which makes them appropriate as malleable input devices. Particle-based materials, such as beads or sand (e.g., Sandscape [17]), as well as fluids (e.g., [13,14]), have been previously explored for malleable interfaces. Passive springs can be used to provide haptic feedback for malleable input through the use of mechanical springs [28], gels [40,8] or foam [34].…”

Malleable and organic user interfaces have the potential to enable radically new forms of interactions and expressiveness through flexible, free-form and computationally controlled shapes and displays. This work, specifically focuses on particle jamming as a simple, effective method for flexible, shape-changing user interfaces where programmatic control of material stiffness enables haptic feedback, deformation, tunable affordances and control gain. We introduce a compact, low-power pneumatic jamming system suitable for mobile devices, and a new hydraulic-based technique with fast, silent actuation and optical shape sensing. We enable jamming structures to sense input and function as interaction devices through two contributed methods for high-resolution shape sensing using: 1) index-matched particles and fluids, and 2) capacitive and electric field sensing. We explore the design space of malleable and organic user interfaces enabled by jamming through four motivational prototypes that highlight jamming's potential in HCI, including applications for tabletops, tablets and for portable shape-changing mobile devices.

“…The relevant images to the location on the map are projected at the area inside a square frame. The Illuminating Clay system (Ishii et al, 2004), a GIS interface for landscape design and analysis, uses a clay model instead of a printed map. It captures the geometry of the clay landscape model in real time with a ceiling-mounted laser scanner and projects the geometry-based information onto the clay model.…”
