Gastvortrag von Daniel Leithinger im Rahmen der Interface Lectures Series The vision to break down the flat glass barrier of computer screens and to experience digital information in the physical world has been an inspiration to artists and researchers for decades. Yet in our daily lives, we are still glued to small displays more than ever before. In this talk, I will discuss a series of projects that challenge this status quo through computational materials and shape-changing interfaces. These projects render physical objects that users can touch, deform and share, making use of the amazing dexterity of the human body. While emerging sensing technologies and fabrication tools have made prototyping such interfaces easier, they are still challenging to design and develop. I will share lessons learned from my own practice and proposals for how the field can move forward with a new generation of tools for embodied interaction design. Daniel Leithinger
