4. AMPHORM : form giving through gestural interaction to shape changing objects, Form giving through gestural interaction to shape changing objects

Lakatos, Dávid,

Shape-shifting materials have been part of sci-fi literature for decades. But if tomorrow we invent them, how are we going to communicate to them what shape we want them to morph into? If we look at o...
