Abstract:
A method for dynamically reforming a moveable display surface to deliver physicality to a user is provided. The method generates a physical profile of the user to calibrate the moveable display surface by receiving a measurement of at a hand of the user and estimating a maximum depth of a palm of the hand when folded based on causing a subset of cells of the plurality of moveable cells of the grid to increase in height. At least one image of a plurality of images, objects of the at least one image, and relative positions of objects of the at least one image are received Physicality is delivered to the user by causing the grid of the moveable display surface to render the objects based at least in part on the physical profile and the relative positions.
