Title:

    BelliesWave: Color and Shape Changing Pixels Using Bilayer Rubber Membranes

Presenter(s)/Author(s):



Abstract:


    Light-emitting displays such as a liquid crystal display or a projector are common display devices in our daily lives which present information by changing each pixels color at high speed. Meanwhile, the amount of research regarding displays or pixel expressions with material substances are increasing: a flat display expressing information by controlling the materials color [Hashida et al. 2011], and a volumetric display with three-dimensional information such as height or volume using kinetic constructions [Follmer et al. 2013]. In this paper, we propose a new dynamic display called BelliesWave (Figure.1). BelliesWave has substantial pixels, which can transform both its volume and color dynamically by using their materialities.
