Abstract: 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.
