Abstract

To build affective and emotional interaction, we pay attention to materials of interface. We introduce two non-emissive displays as examples showing our concept. Fabcell is a fabric pixel that changes its color with non-emissive manner. Matrix arrangement of Fabcell enables information display with fabric texture. Jello Display is composed of gel blocks with moisture, coldness and softness. The unique look and feel enables organic information display. These kinds of haptic and organic information displays have ability adding rich affectivity to the artifacts used in our everyday life.
