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.

“…Examples of shape-changing interfaces can be found in mobile phones [14], toys [19], and home appliances [35]. While most shape-changing interfaces are implemented at a scale relating to the hand or other isolated body parts, rather than the whole body, there are examples of larger shape-changing installations, such as Muscle Space [28], Textile Mirror [7] and ExoBuilding [33]. There exist a few examples of shape-change being implemented on a body-scale, allowing for a tactile as well as visual effect of the change.…”

In this paper we describe results from testing coMotion, a shape-changing bench, in three different contexts: a concert hall foyer, an airport departure hall and a shopping mall. We have gathered insights from more than 120 people, with regard to how users experience and make sense of the bench's shape changing capability. The paper applies McCarthy and Wright's six different sense making processes (anticipating, connecting, interpreting, reflecting, appropriating and recounting) as an instrument to analyse people's experience with shape-changing furniture in the wild. The paper also introduces exploring as a seventh sense making process. Based on this analysis, the paper points to three relevant aspects when designing shapechanging artefacts for the wild, namely: 1) Affordance of shape-changing interfaces, 2) Transitions between background and foreground and 3) Interpreting physically dynamic objects.

“…Shape change holds potential beyond the scope of playful objects, from small scale applications, such as dynamic buttons [10], shape-changing mobile phones [11,12], or wiggling attention seeking post it's [29] to large scale dynamic architectural elements, such as the kinetic façade of a parking garage at Brisbane airport [16], shape changing architectural structures [25], or visions of permeable architecture [5]. These are just fragments of the abundance of examples, which have sprouted from the field within the last decade.…”

In this paper we describe the outcomes from a design exercise in which eight groups of designers designed and built hardware sketches in the form of playful shapechanging prototypes, generatively working with Rasmussen et al's [31] eight unique types of shape change. Seeing that shape-changing interfaces is a growing area in HCI design research and that authors often shy away from articulating the special qualities brought to a design by using changing shape to communicate information, we set out to explore shape changing interfaces through a series of sketching experiments through the support of Danish toy company. Eight design groups redesigned existing tumbling objects for children using electronic sensors and actuators guided only by the request to adhere to the client's design goal to inspire imagination and movement in users. The main contributions of the paper include indications for the further expansion of the design space of shape changing interfaces relating to the perception and understanding of behaviour, causality and the mechanics involved in shape change events, which we call "Imagined Physics." This concept is described along with additional insights into the qualities of shape changing interfaces coined in recent research in the field.
