Abstract:
Methods, apparatuses and systems provide for technology to identify a communication that is to be presented to a user. The technology controls a first plurality of actuators to press a first portion of a light emitting element (LEE) layer against a deformable layer to deform the deformable layer into a shape that represents the communication to be presented to the user, and controls the LEE layer to emit light from the first portion of the LEE layer that is pressed against the deformable layer to illuminate the shape of the deformable layer
