Rigid touchscreens are the predominant medium for interactions with digital services. Their current fixed form factor narrows the scope for rich physical interactions by limiting interaction possibilities to a single, planar surface. However, in the future our touchscreens could be broken into pieces and put back together again.

PickCells consist of touchscreens that can be reconfigured in the shape that best suits a person's current activity. Through a series of co-design activities based on dialogue-labs, we synthesized a design space aimed at inspiring future research, giving researchers and designers a framework in which to explore modular screen interactions.
