Zusammenfassung:Approaches for dynamic tactile and visual color presentation of information are provided. Specifically, provided is a first substrate comprising a plurality of individually addressable cells each including an electrically-active material capable of changing shape in response to an electrical current; a second substrate coupled to the first substrate, the second substrate comprising a plurality of individually addressable cells each including an electrically-active material capable of changing color in response to an electrical current; and an electrical network for delivering an electrical current to each of the plurality of individually addressable cells. Either the first or the second substrate is formed atop an object. When the electrical current is supplied, each of the plurality of individually addressable cells of the first substrate exhibits a desired shape, and each of the individually addressable cells of the second substrate exhibits a desired color to demonstrate a customized appearance of the object.
