Abstract: Provided are an electronic device and a shape changing system. The electronic device includes a plurality of deforming interfaces, each having a shape changing unit that causes a shape of the deforming interface to change, and, by controlling operations of the shape changing units to cause the shapes of the deforming interfaces to change, is capable of forming a vertex formed by causing a part of a surface formed including the plurality of deforming interfaces to protrude, in any desired position of the surface formed including the plurality of deforming interfaces. The shape changing system includes a shape change control unit that, by controlling operations of the shape changing units to cause the shapes of the deforming interfaces to change, is capable of forming a vertex, formed by causing a part of a surface formed including the plurality of deforming interfaces to protrude, in any desired position of the surface.
