ABSTRACT
HydroMorph is an interactive display based on shapes formed by a stream of water. Inspired by the membrane formed when a water stream hits a smooth surface (e.g. a spoon), we developed a system that dynamically controls the shape of a water membrane. This paper describes the design and implementation of our system, explores a design space of interactions around water shapes, and proposes a set of user scenarios in applications across scales, from the faucet to the fountain. Through this work, we look to to enrich our interaction with water, an everyday material, with the added dimension of transformation.

Dorsal haptic display: a shape-changing car seat for sensory augmentation of rear obstacles
AutomotiveUI '15: Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Automotive User Interfaces and Interactive Vehicular ApplicationsFor the automotive domain shape-changing interfaces hold potential as an interaction modality since they offer modalities that do not rely on the driver's vision such as traditional screen-based interfaces. In this paper we present a shape-changing car-...
SweepScreen: Sweeping Programmable Surfaces to Create Low-fi Displays Everywhere
CHI EA '18: Extended Abstracts of the 2018 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsSweepScreen is a digital paintbrush enabling the printing of low-fidelity lasting free form images. It is made of a row of electromagnets that turn on and off in a specific pattern while the user sweeps across the magnetophoretic surface, thus producing ...
Mechanical Shells: Physical Add-ons for Extending and Reconfiguring the Interactivities of Actuated TUIs
UIST '20 Adjunct: Adjunct Proceedings of the 33rd Annual ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and TechnologyIn this paper, I introduce a concept of mechanical shells, which are physical add-ons that can adaptively augment, extend, and reconfigure the interactivities of self-actuated tangible user interfaces (TUIs). While a variety of research explores ...
