Info-Motion: Using the Metaphor of Plant Motion for Information Communication in Shape-changing Interface: Info-motion

Published: 11 February 2024 Publication History

Abstract

Through the exploration of plant motion, this paper introduces a method called the Metaphor Ring, which proposes the use of metaphor to define the types of information that can be conveyed through shape-changing interfaces inspired by plant motion. To put this method into practice, the paper presents five potential use cases that use soft robotics technology to apply plant motion to shape-changing interfaces to enhance the user experience and convey information in a more intuitive and natural way through motion. Each physical object provides 2-3 types of dynamic feedback, enabling the presentation of status and data from computers and home appliances. Each pattern is independent, they could be applied to different usage scenarios, bridging the gap of inconsistent deformation semantics between use cases and providing an entry point for designing shape-changing interfaces.
