Aluna Everitt recently submitted her thesis, ‘ Digital Fabrication Approaches for the Design and Development of Shape-Changing Displays ,’ to the Faculty of Science and Technology at Lancaster University. To achieve better success with deformable surfaces, Everitt explores the uses of 3D printing and laser cutting.
.
As technology continues to progress worldwide, shape-changing displays are just one element that make users lives easier with features like tangible interaction, enhancing applications like the following: Dynamic landscaping Topographical modeling Architectural design Physical telepresence Object manipulation Functioning via mechanical actuators, shapechanging displays allow the deformation of a specific surface through programming (in the form of dynamic physicalizations encoding data).
.
“Tangibility is a key aspect of data physicalization and the form of the physical artefact is often perceptible by touch,” states Everitt. “These physical data representations often encourage direct interaction to create an engaging user experience.” The author is not only focused […]
