This work is a dynamic physical shape display composed of 36 inflatable modules arranged in an array on a stage. Each module is individually controlled by a fan-equipped robot that moves autonomously beneath it, generating dynamic 2.5-dimensional patterns by changing shapes according to programmed patterns. Through the combination of air and swarms of small robots, the system enables large volumetric changes relative to the device size, realizing dynamic embodiment of information in physical space.
