Abstract

Driving from the novel technology of LIME (LIquid MEtal shape-changing interfaces), MetaLife presents a series of installations for educational, entertainment, or aesthetic purposes. In this paper, we discuss how we translate LIME's interaction paradigms into design vocabulary and how we use such vocabulary to design the installation. As industry and academia become disconnected from each other in the field of tangible user interfaces, MetaLife gives an example of how we can promote the bonds between them.
