交互式、数字化的未来，以及物联网连接传感器、执行器和显示器的诱人愿景，在能源需求和给物理世界带来的混乱方面都付出了高昂的代价。但是，如果这些设备是由能够自我驱动其交互功能的材料制成的呢？而且，如果这些材料直接用于建造美观的环境和物体，既满足实际的物理需求，又满足数字需求，会怎么样？本文介绍了PV-Tiles ？一种新型材料与数字接口元件紧密耦合光伏能量收集和光传感材料。我们考虑潜在的背景、用例和通过共同创造研讨会浮出水面的轻手势；并提出初步的技术设计和样机。这项工作在HCI和材料科学之间开辟了一系列新的机会和合作，激发了技术和设计指针，以适应和利用材料的特性。
The interactive, digital future with its seductive vision of Internet-of-Things connected sensors, actuators and displays comes at a high cost in terms of both energy demands and the clutter it brings to the physical world. But what if such devices were made of materials that enabled them to self-power their interactive features? And, what if those materials were directly used to build aesthetically pleasing environments and objects that met practical physical needs as well as digital ones? In this paper we introduce PV-Tiles ? a novel material that closely couples photovoltaic energy harvesting and light sensing materials with digital interface components. We consider potential contexts, use-cases and light gestures surfaced through co-creation workshops; and, present initial technological designs and prototypes. The work opens a new set of opportunities and collaborations between HCI and material science, stimulating technical and design pointers to accommodate and exploit the material's properties.
