Abstract
A shape changeable apparatus according to an embodiment of the present technology includes a base, a first deformable member, a second deformable member, an inflow control opening, a first opening, a second opening, and a flow path. The first deformable member forms a first space between the first deformable member and the base. The second deformable member forms a second space between the second deformable member and the base. The inflow control opening controls flow of fluid into each of the first space and the second space. The first opening communicates with the first space, the first opening being formed to be closed when a specified pressing operation is input to the first deformable member and the second deformable member. The second opening communicates with the second space, the second opening being formed not to be closed when the specified pressing operation is input. The first opening and the second opening each communicate with the inflow control opening through the flow path.
