technologyCombining Miniturization With Resolution
A significant challenge remains in the availability of small form-factor, minimal weight, and high resolution actuators. In line with more general computing trends, shape-changing interfaces are moving from stationary to mobile to wearable form factors [1, 46], and from rigid to flexible to stretchable and even floating shapes. The use of electromechanical actuators, as is common in many systems (e.g. inFORM, PinWheels, the BMW Kinetic sculpture), often results in large, heavy, and immobile setups that are not compatible with these demands. In addition, enduser expectations of current interactive systems will demand high-resolution output—Humans’ haptic and visual perception still far exceeds that possible in shape-changing interfaces. However, increasing the shape resolution tends to considerably complicate the technical setup.
