DESCRIPTION
In human-computer interaction, an organic user interface (OUI) is defined as a user interface with a non-flat display. After Engelbart and Sutherland's Graphical User Interface (GUI), which is based on the cathode ray tube (CRT), and Kay and Weiser's Ubiquitous Computing, which is based on the flat panel liquid-crystal display (LCD), OUI represents the third wave of display interaction paradigms, pertaining to multi-shaped and flexible displays. In an OUI, the display surface is always the locus of interaction, and may actively or passively change shape upon analog (i.e., as close to non-quantized as possible) inputs. These inputs are provided through direct physical gestures, rather than through indirect point-and-click control. The term "Organic" in OUI was derived from organic architecture, referring to the adoption of natural form to design a better fit with human ecology. The term also alludes to the use of organic electronics for this purpose. The three design principles of OUI ar Input equals output,Function equals form and Form follows flow. Input equals output means output is generated graphically on the screen on the basis of input provided by a control device such as a mouse. Function equals form means the shape of an interface determines its physical functionality. Form follows flow indicates OUIs physically adapt to the context of a user's multiple activities

Organic User Interface
In human-computer interaction, an organic user interface (OUI) is
defined as a user interface with a non-flat display.
In an OUI, the display surface is always the locus of interaction, and
may actively or passively change shape upon analog inputs.
the term "Organic" in OUI was derived from organic architecture,
referring to the adoption of natural form to design a better fit with
human ecology. The term also alludes to the use of organic electronics
for this purpose.
Organic user interfaces were first introduced in a special issue of the
Communications of the ACM in 2008
The term ‘organic’ came from four facts:
First, these new flexible interfaces are built from the newly
developed organic electronics and materials.
Second, the malleable form and flexible shape of OUI systems make
give them an ‘organic look’.
Third, the dynamic structure of OUI devices enables them to give
visual feedback by changing their physical shape actively or passively
which gives them an ‘organic feel’ as if the device is alive.
Forth, the human-computer interaction in an OUI system is more
likely similar to human- human interaction resembling the natural
human-physical interaction such as grabbing, folding, shaking and
many other gestures.
It is considered to be a more natural, or “organic”,
experience when information is communicated to us through
normal everyday objects instead of through words and graphics
on a computer screen and so designers have begun trying to
achieve this organic effect by incorporating digital properties
into everyday objects in our environment
With an organic user interface (OUI), the input and output
devices are largely one and the same – the interface itself –
rather than being separate devices, as with a keyboard and
screen. An OUI is typically non-planar and is operated by
touch and gestures and, in the case of the flexible OUI, the
interface itself is actual data that is controlled through
manual deformation. (Holman & Vertegaal, 2008)
Organic user interfaces were first introduced in a special
issue of the Communications of the ACM in 2008.
The first International Workshop on Organic User
Interfaces took place at CHI 2009 in Boston,
Massachusetts.
The second workshop took place at TEI 2011 in Madeira,
Portugal. The third workshop was held at MobileHCI 2012
in Monterey, California, and the fourth workshop at CHI
2013 in Paris, France.
PaperPhone (2011) was the first
flexible smartphone prototype and
the first OUI with bend interactions on
a real flexible display.
Samsung Youm prototype (2013) with a
display with rounded corners. This is an
example of a displayobject using a flexible
display on a rigid non-flat functional
object.
Organic Design Principles
When developing an interface that is truly organic, designers
should stick to these three principles:
1. Input Equals Output
2.Form Equals Function
3.Form Follows Function
Organic Design Principles
Input Equals Output
Input Equals Output principle states that in organic interface design,
the input and output devices are merged into one, contrary to current
point-and-click planar systems where the input and output devices are
separate
Organic Design Principles
Form Equals Function
Form Equals Function principle states that displays can be of any
shape and designers should be careful to closely match the display’s
shape with the functionality of its graphics;
Organic Design Principles
Form Follows Function
Form Follows Function principle states that a display’s shape should not be
static but should be changeable with the ability to dynamically adapt to the
flow of its usage

Paper Windows
Foldable Input Devices
Interactive Blobjects
Gummi
A Flexible,Credit card sized device
that respond to prussure
Buttons or Mechanical switches are
not used in this device.
A sencer is placed on the back of
the display for interacions throgh
incurve.
Paper Windows
Paper Windows have same structure of
a paper.
It enables to project environment in
screan windows.
Digital informations can be managed
as a ordinary paper
This will enable a paper less office
In fact,Thes are flexible displays on the
Size of a paper.
Foldable Input devices
FIDs are used to interact with system
It can also be used with GUI
It is capable to respond to 3D graphics
It is also used for converting window
sheets to 3d model
Interactive Blobjects
These are the Display attached with everyday objects
Incorporating digital properties into everyday objects in our environment
It aims to establish computing through tracking and projection facilities
It is capable for dispaying flash animations,videos,RSS fieds etc..
It is easy to destroy the objects after separating display from it
This type devices will be common with all equipment in feature
OUITechnology
A number of new technologies have emerged and combined to advance the
development of organic interfaces
Electronic ink (E-ink):It is a technology where thousands of positively- and
negatively-charged particles suspended in a clear liquid are rendered either
black or white when a positive or negative electric field is applied
Organic light- emitting diode (OLED):It uses both emissive and
conductive layers of organic molecules that light up when electricity is
applied. The flexible OLED (or FOLED) – has been combined with super-thin
flexible batteries and other flexible electronic components (like sensors and
circuits) to create the concept of the Gummi interface.
OUITechnologycont..
Ultrasound motors and actuating devices enable displays to
automatically reshape based on input
shape memory polymers:It bring acceleration and multi-
fingered touch on any surface
Electroluminescent lighting (EL) places a phosphor layer
inside two conductive layers to create thin and bendable lamps.
It light up through the application of alternating electrical currents
Optical fibers reconfigured to emit light along the side of the fiber
rather than inside its core can be combined with light sources to
create a flexible source of light
Advantages & Practicality Manipulation of the type of curved data sets used in 3D and
geographic models would be improved through the use of
curved input and output devices
A piece of paper can communicate information while at the
same time be wrapped around an object or folded into a
shape that may convey additional meaning .
Due to the bi-stable nature of E-ink particles (once rendered
black or white, they stay that way), no energy is required to
read an E-ink display
Digital paper that can be automatically updated reduces the
need for printing and re-printing
many everyday tasks are made easier through deformability
– storing objects, flipping pages to navigate a document, and
being able to change functionality based on context (for
example, a shirt can change shape in order to carry
something)
Fashion designers and architects have long been able to
exploit the deformability of their materials in their designs
Challenges
Despite the advances in OUI development, there are many challenges to
overcome before organic interfaces can become a widespread reality
The cost of the technology is still high
Paperwindows and Gummi displays are made effective only through
the use of expensive motion capture devices or throwaway hardware
prototypes
In cases where displays change shape or the data is spread across
different disconnected contexts, it’s difficult to maintain consistency
across all the various forms and contexts.
Designers do not make the claim of sustainability while actually
encouraging unsustainable behaviors.
It is more complicated to make all parts of system to non planar and
Conclusion
The initial shift away from paper as a means of storing and
communicating information can be seen as being directly related to
some its flexible properties
Computers have proven to be much more functional in terms of mass
and timely communication because the data doesn’t have to abide by
some of the more limiting laws of physics
The combination of E-ink, OLEDs, and flexible electronics applied to
pliable, organic surfaces prove that we may not need to lose those
traits
Organic interfaces combine the best properties of the computing
world with those of the natural, physical world.
If implemented correctly, OUIs may prove to be a practical upgrade of
