Abstract

This paper explores a shape-shifting wall display that can change its shape for particular dynamic contexts. Firstly, we present a design studdy that aims to understand user's desriable shapes of a wall display for various interaction scenarios. Our result suggests that people would prefer to use a range of screen shapes rather than a single static flat display arrangement. Based on this, we design and implement the first protype of shape-shifting wall display which can automatically change its physical shape or screen arrangement to support the collaborative or individual contexts of people's activities. Finally, we discuss some of potential interaction scenarios with the shape-shifting wall display and interaction techniques based on user's explicit gesture commands and inferred implicit context from display content and users' spatial relations around the display.
