We define a metric d S , called the shape metric, on the hyperspace 2 X of all non-empty compact subsets of a metric space X. Using it we prove that a compactum X in the Hilbert cube is movable if and only if X is the limit of a sequence of polyhedra in the shape metric. This fact is applied to show that the hyperspace ( 2 2 , dS) i s s e p a r a b l e .
