Dynamically changeable physical buttons on a visual display
Bodycopy:
The outcome of Chris Harrisons research project titled "Providing Dynamically Changeable Physical Buttons on a Visual Display" is a working visual display that contains specific deformable areas, able to produce physical buttons and other interface elements.
Fantastic idea. There a lot areas of application, but conditional to the requirements for an air pump, it's probably difficult for small devices.
