This project proposes to radically rethink the concept of affordance in light of the emergence of Morphing Interactive Devices (MIDs). Affordance is a concept widely used in the field of HCI and defines the quality of an object to tell us how to use it. The concept has been instrumental in the design of everyday systems such as graphical user interfaces and is also largely used by industrial designers to guide the form of static objects. However, a revolution has been emerging in numerous fields of engineering, allowing the shape of interactive devices to go beyond the static and rigid form factors (e.g. bendable OLED touchscreens or reconfigurable devices). New forms of computers are malleable and can even reconfigure on their own to provide better affordance on demand. As such, a radical rethink is required in designing the shape of interactive devices. This PhD project aims at addressing this challenge. The ultimate goal is to establish a framework based on empirical data that can generalise the concept of affordance - bringing more rigor to the design of MIDs.This project falls within the EPSRC researcher area: Human Computer Interaction (ICT).

该项目建议鉴于变形互动设备（MIDS）的出现，从根本上重新考虑了负担能力的概念。 Proferance是在HCI领域广泛使用的概念，并定义了对象的质量来告诉我们如何使用它。该概念在日常系统（例如图形用户界面）的设计中发挥了重要作用，工业设计人员也很大程度上使用了指导静态对象的形式。然而，在许多工程领域都出现了一场革命，使交互式设备的形状超出了静态和刚性的形式（例如，可弯曲的OLED触摸屏或可重新配置的设备）。新形式的计算机是可延展的，甚至可以自行重新配置，以便根据需要提供更好的负担能力。因此，在设计交互设备的形状时需要进行根本重新考虑。这个博士学位项目旨在应对这一挑战。最终目标是建立一个基于经验数据的框架，该框架可以概括负担能力的概念 - 使MID的设计更加严格。该项目属于EPSRC研究人员：人类计算机交互（ICT）。
