Organic experiences

Abstract

Display technology developments mean the next generation of visual output devices will extend beyond the rigid, flat surfaces with which we are familiar to those that the user or the machine can deform. These will allow users to physically push, pull, bend, fold or flex the display and facilitate a range of self-deformation to better represent on-screen content or support new modes of interaction. This workshop will provide a forum to examine, discuss and shape the three primary themes of research in this area: prototyping and implementation, interaction and experience design, and evaluation. It will bring together an interdisciplinary group of academic and industrial researchers to define the current and future challenges of crafting organic user experiences with deformable displays.
