- Current mobile screens are flexible in their display capabilities, but physically rigid and flat, with none of the tactile benefits of buttons or dials. We create an actuated surface that can change its shape to provide tactile continuous controls, combining the flexibility of touchscreens with the feel of physical widgets. Through this first investigation into “emergeable” surfaces for eyes-free interaction, we open up the possibility of dynamic widgets that can change both shape and location according to user needs. This paper led to EPSRC grant “Breaking the Glass” (EP/N013948/1).
