Kinetic Organic Interface

Kinetic Organic Interface or KOI, enables the design of computers that adjust their shape according to some computational outcome, or through interactions with a user.

In other words, the computer would physically morph its shape in response to data processed. The result is a kind of almost claytronic 3D display, rendering data almost in sculpture.

Shape Memory Materials, Simulation and Prosthetics
Shape memory alloys are composite materials which can 'remember' a given shape or form, and revert back to it when a charge is passed through them, or they are warmed past a critical point, or another condition is met. They deform then reform, essentially flowing like organic tissue without actually being organic.

Separating Interface from Content - Why?
Not everyone dreams of immersing totally within the virtual; casting off the physical body like yesterdays clothes, and embracing digital life. Not everyone desires a full-blown interface. It is undeniable that those who do desire it, do so for good reason, but choice is paramount in life and it should never be forced. Certainly not if you desire to keep paying customers.
