Problems:
1. How to design simple forms for rich interaction? (including movement-centric, social interaction, self-expression, etc.)
2. What's the relationship between movement and form? Can we think "movement" without form?
3. What kind of form is suitable for movement?

4. Echoing "tangible interaction = form + computing" by Mark Baskinger and Mark Gross, if "tangibility = movement + form", how can Tangibility be explored?
5. Affordance: restriction or hint?
