Venous Materials Project Unveils Innovative Dynamic Tangible Interactions

Hila Mor's Venous Materials project draws inspiration from the intricate venous structures found in nature and the human body, where color changes in veins can indicate internal and external physical conditions. The project envisions a new way to design dynamic tangible interactions using fluidic structures, responding to user pressure and motion with dynamic displayed patterns. These materials can animate dynamic graphics, create responsive objects, and visualize body movement and balance.

The technology behind Venous Materials is developed through research on Microfluidics, specifically designed for human interaction and UX design. A specialized computational tool was developed for the design process, simulating and visualizing the color change and flow display within the material according to user input. The production process involves laser engraving and manual lab processes, utilizing PDMS silicone and ecoline ink.

With prototypes mainly sized at 5cmX5cm, Venous Materials offer a unique way for users to interact with the material by deforming or applying pressure, driving fluid flow within internal channels to visualize dynamic responsive displays. This innovative approach provides a simple way to create and validate designs of fluidic structures, allowing for interactive applications to augment human movement and everyday objects.
