In this paper, we present the novel concept of ephemeral user interfaces. Ephemeral user interfaces contain at least one user interface (UI) element that is intentionally created to last for a limited time only and typically incorporate materials that evoke a rich and multisensory perception, such as water, fire, soap bubbles or plants. We characterize the term "ephemeral user interface" and, based on a review of existing user interfaces that fall into this research area but have not been discussed under one common term before, we present a design space for ephemeral user interfaces providing a terminology for (a) materials for ephemeral UI elements, (b) interaction and (c) aspects of ephemerality. This paper contributes to the ongoing research on materiality of user interfaces as well as on conceptualizing visionary interaction styles with novel materials.
