Over the past few years, there has been a quiet revolution in
display manufacturing technology. One that is only comparable in
scope to that of the invention of the first LCD, one that
directly resulted in Kay's DynaBook and the modern laptop. The
e-ink electro-chemical pixel, combined with advances in organic
thin-film circuit boards have resulted in displays that are so
thin and flexible, they are beginning to resemble paper. Soon
displays will completely mimick the high contrast, low power
consumption and flexibility of real ink. This will cause another
revolution in computer user interface design. This revolution
marks a final frontier for Human-Computer Interaction: one in
which computers can have any organic form or shape, rather than
the rigid technological surfaces of DynaBook. One where the
shape of the computer is the input device. One where any object,
no matter how complex, dynamic or flexible its structure, can
display information. This new paradigm of Organic User Interface
(Oui!) requires a new
