We propose a novel concept of shape changing interface using the form “Line.” This project explores the interaction design space and applications for the actuated curve interfaces through preliminary prototype based on snake robotics technology. Through our design exploration, we envision a future where transforming string being woven into our everyday life.

The Tangible Media Group, led by Professor Hiroshi Ishii, explores the Tangible Bits and Radical Atoms visions to seamlessly couple the dual worlds of bits and atoms. The group desines human interfaces that employ physical objects, surfaces, and spaces as tangible embodiments of digital information and processes.
