My thesis work involves incorporating physical materials into communication design systems. As part of this work, I have been using embedded interactions to explore creating behaviors, attitudes, and personalities that convey the spirit and living origins of materials such as leather, cloth, wood and felt. With the help of custom authoring software [5] (a flash-based interface), interactive objects and spaces become a tool for the designer to explore the rich narrative potentials that exist between physical materials and humans.
