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).

这个项目提出了从根本上重新思考的概念，启示的出现，变形交互设备（MID）。Affordance是一个广泛应用于人机交互领域的概念，它定义了一个对象的质量，告诉我们如何使用它。这个概念在日常系统的设计中起到了重要作用，例如图形用户界面，也被工业设计师广泛用于指导静态对象的形式。然而，一场革命已经出现在许多工程领域，允许交互设备的形状超越静态和刚性的形状因素（例如可弯曲的OLED触摸屏或可重新配置的设备）。新形式的计算机具有可塑性，甚至可以自行重新配置，以根据需求提供更好的启示。因此，在设计交互设备的形状时需要进行彻底的重新思考。本博士项目旨在应对这一挑战。最终的目标是建立一个基于经验数据的框架，可以概括的概念启示-带来更严格的设计MIDs.This项目属于EPSRC的研究领域：人机交互（ICT）的福尔斯。
