Advanced technologies are increasingly enabling the creation of freeform devices: interactive devices with non-rectangular form-factors. We explore the applications they inspire and how users may interact with such freeform devices. In a week-long design workshop, we invited non-specialist designers to invent freeform devices and reflect on their myriad form factors and the applications they engender. We clustered their concepts into Introspection, Community and Magic Exploration applications, allowing to understand the perspective of non-specialists on freeform devices in real life.
