Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ Boulder PhD candidate and ATLAS THING Lab member Ryo Suzuki recently developed LiftTiles—room-scale, actuator-based building blocks that pave the way for a new generation of shape-changing interfaces.

Arduino blog discusses LiftTiles, modular blocks that raise to a desired height (between 15 and 150 centimeters) via air pressure and then collapse under spring force when needed. These shape-shifting interfaces could be deployed to create dynamic furniture, structures or VR environments.

Industrial Automation looks at how engineers from Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ Boulder's ATLAS Institute, Keio Universit, and the University of Tokyo have developed LiftTiles, a modular shape display that fits inside a room.

In this Hackster.io article, ATLAS scientists have developed a scalable shape display for walls and floors that produce reconfigurable structures on demand. The reconfigurable platform, dubbed "LiftTiles," is capable of extending up to 1.5 meters for large-scale transformations.
