4D Printing and Adaptive Structures – (Future Dynamic Tactile Display?)
Description
4D printing is a number of techniques that use 3D printing with specific chemicals to create structures that can reshape themselves when presented with certain stimuli. This has applications from robotics to biomedicine, but in terms of interface it creates the potential for touch-based interfaces that can reshape themselves to communicate via shape or texture, for immersion, accessibility, or any number of reasons.
