Abstract

In this paper, I present the concept of "MegaAffordance Objects" (MAOs). An MAO is a common object with a primitive form factor that exhibits multiple affordances and can perform numerous improvised functions in addition to its original one. In order to broaden the reach of Tangible User Interfaces (TUIs) and create compelling everyday applications, I propose applying computational power to Mega-Affordance Objects that are highly adaptable and frequently used. This approach will leverage the capabilities of smart materials and contribute to the principles of Organic User Interface (OUI) design.
