Fluent Interaction with Cyber-Physical Architecture

When the walls around you start to move, how do you react? How do you want them to behave? And how do you communicate with them? This project explores these questions through a series of hardware prototypes, design workshops, and elicitation studies with a shape-changing robotic wall. We find that interacting with cyber-physical architecture requires moving beyond simple command-response mappings, and towards systems that can use multimodal signals to infer and react to human intentions.
