The Aegis Hyposurface is a dECOi project, designed principally by Mark Goulthorpe and the dECOi office with a large multi-disciplinary team of architects, engineers, mathematicians and computer programmers, among others. This team included a Professor Mark Burry, who was working at Deakin University at the time, along with various others from Deakin, including Professor Saeid Navahandi and Dr Abbas Kouzani. Please see below for a full list of the members of the project team. This project was developed for a competition for an interactive art-work for the foyer of The Birmingham Hippodrome Theatre. The piece is a facetted metallic surface that has potential to deform physically in response to electronic stimuli from the environment (movement, sound, light,etc). Driven by a bed of 896 pneumatic pistons, the dynamic 'terrains' are generated as real-time calculations. The piece marks the transition from autoplastic (determinate) to alloplastic (interactive, indeterminate) space, a new species of reciprocal architecture.

In line with your movement idea, you also might want to look at programmable LED-lit and pressure sensitive tiles. It creates movement with light interacts with people. Try also searching for interactive surfaces. You might want to add that to your Method tab.
