Moving beyond the keyboard: the rise of shape-shifting technology
In short: We are approaching a shift in human-computer interaction where static screens are replaced by physical forms. This talk showcases prototypes that transform into different shapes to bring digital information to life under your fingers.
Interaction designer Sean Follmer explores a future where machines adapt their physical geometry to suit the task at hand. Rather than relying on traditional inputs like keyboards and mice, these prototypes allow for tactile, deformable interfaces.
The presentation features several distinct examples of this technology, including a 3D shape-shifting table, a phone capable of transforming into a wristband, and a deformable game controller. These innovations aim to change how we live and work by making digital interaction more physical and intuitive.
