Abstract

For a long time, solid planar surfaces have been commonly used for computer displays. Recently, there have been many attempts to provide a flexible element with the display surface to extend possibilities of interaction by utilizing many flexible materials, such as elastomer, sand or clay [Piper et al. 2002]. However, in many traditional flexible display to date, this softness element has been considered as a static element and thus unchangeable. Thus, traditional flexible surface limits the possible interaction that is supported on each surface due to the interactive element being strongly dependent on the physical/chemical properties of display material.
