Data physicalisation is a technique that encodes data through the
geometric and material properties of an artefact, allowing users
to engage with data in a more immersive and multi-sensory way.
However, current methods of data physicalisation are limited in
terms of their reconfgurability and the types of materials that can
be used. Acoustophoresis—a method of suspending and manipulating materials using sound waves—ofers a promising solution
to these challenges. In this paper, we present DataLev, a design
space and platform for creating reconfgurable, multimodal data
physicalisations with enriched materiality using acoustophoresis.
We demonstrate the capabilities of DataLev through eight examples and evaluate its performance in terms of reconfgurability and
materiality. Our work ofers a new approach to data physicalisation, enabling designers to create more dynamic, engaging, and
expressive artefacts
