About

Jason Ginsberg is a leading researcher in human-computer interaction, with a focus on shape-changing interfaces and tangible interaction. His seminal work on the "shapeShift" tabletop shape display, first introduced in 2017 and expanded in 2018, has garnered over 159 combined citations, establishing him as a pioneer in dynamic physical user interfaces. Ginsberg’s major contribution lies in developing a compact, high-resolution (7 mm pitch) mobile shape display that enables novel 2D spatial manipulation and self-actuation. This innovation allows users to physically interact with digital content through bimanual control, moving and spinning the display to render elements in both passive and active scenarios. His research explores how shape displays can bridge the gap between digital and physical worlds, enabling more intuitive and embodied interactions. Ginsberg’s work has been widely recognized for its potential in collaborative workspaces, data physicalization, and accessible computing. By demonstrating how shape-shifting surfaces can respond to user input and environmental context, he has opened new avenues for interactive systems that engage multiple senses, making him a key figure in the evolution of tangible user interfaces.
