A device supporting a manipulatable user interface includes a feedback module for presenting information related to a data structure, along with a processor for controlling the feedback module and the data structure. The feedback module can include non-visual tactile displays, auditory displays, or visual displays. A wide range of manipulatory actions, including morphemes such as folds, tears, twists, bends and various spatial or environmental transformations can be applied to a connected deformable piece. Since the deformable piece contacts at least one sensor that monitors positional changes within multiple subregions of the deformable piece, various commands can be given to the device through manipulation of the deformable piece.
