In the field of interface surface research, the idea of the 'softness' of a surface medium is one significant factor in determining a suitable means of interaction with the user. With direct touch input, for example, the degree of surface softness allows for the generation various touch sensations and tactile feedback. Additionally, the softness also affects the shape of the surface: a soft surface will allow the user to deform the surface at will while a hard surface will maintain its shape easier. In many traditional flexible surfaces to date, this element has been considered static and thus unchangeable. This project, in contrast, considers the softness of a surface to be dynamic and thus further explores the interaction possibilities with this type of surface. We demonstrate the possibilities of dynamically changing surfaces and their derived user interaction.
