Plantxel: Towards a Plant-based Controllable Display
@article{Gentile2018PlantxelTA, title={Plantxel: Towards a Plant-based Controllable Display}, author={Vito Gentile and Salvatore Sorce and Ivan Elhart and Fabrizio Milazzo}, journal={Proceedings of the 7th ACM International Symposium on Pervasive Displays}, year={2018} }
The use of plants as a mean for both visualization and interaction has been already explored in smart environments. In this work, we explore the possibility of constructing a controllable dynamic plant-based display using thigmonastic plants, i.e. plants that change the shape and position of their leaves as a response to external stimuli. As an initial step towards this vision, we first introduce our approach of building a plant-based pixel (plant-pixel, or plantxel), and the principles of…

Self-moving robots and pulverized urban displays: newcomers in the pervasive display taxonomy
- Computer SciencePerDis
- 2019
A new class of pervasive display is introduced, which is called pulverized urban displays (PUDs), which represent content in a physical form, entangled with the built and natural environment, and are capable of autonomously changing their position.
Self-Moving Robots and Pulverised Urban Displays: Status Quo, Taxonomy & Challenges
- Computer Science
