Abstract

Shape-changing interfaces have emerged as a new method for interacting with computers, using dynamic changes in a device's physical shape for input and output. With the advances of research into shape-changing interfaces, we see a need to synthesize the main, open research questions. The purpose of this synthesis is to formulate common challenges across the diverse fields engaged in shape-change research, to facilitate progression from single prototypes and individual design explorations to grander scientific goals, and to draw attention to challenges that come with maturity, including those concerning ethics, theory-building, and societal impact. In this article we therefore present 12 grand challenges for research on shape-changing interfaces, derived from a three-day workshop with 25 shape-changing interface experts with backgrounds in design, computer science, human-computer interaction, engineering, robotics, and material science.

Abstract
There is an increasing interest in combining interactive technology with food, leading to a new research area called human-food interaction. While food experiences are increasingly benefiting from interactive technology, for example in the form ...
KirigamiTable: Designing for Proxemic Transitions with a Shape-Changing Tabletop
CHI '20: Proceedings of the 2020 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

A core challenge in tabletop research is to support transitions between individual activities and team work. Shape-changing tabletops open up new opportunities for addressing this challenge. However, interaction design for shape-changing furniture is in ...
Grand challenges in CyclingHCI
DIS '24: Proceedings of the 2024 ACM Designing Interactive Systems Conference

Cycling Human-Computer Interaction (CyclingHCI) refers to the study and design of user interfaces and interactions between bicycles and riders in the context of cycling-related experiences. To date, however, there has yet to be a structured agenda for ...
