Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. An organic user interface (OUI) is a user interface "with non-planar displays that actively or passively change shape via analog physical inputs." OUIs are characterized by displays that can change or take on any shape and their ability to use the display as an input device. The folding camera is an early example of an OUI. Holman and Vertegaal present three design principles for OUIs: Input Equals Output: In the GUI there is a clear division of input and output. The mouse and keyboard input actions from the user. Based on those actions, output is generated graphically on the screen. A key feature of OUI is that a piece of Organic light-emitting diode paper, or any potentially non-planar object for that matter, is meant to input actions from the user and also output them onto the same object.
