This is something that is so obvious to be happening at some point, but it is of course exciting to see the first prototypes of flexible screens out there. Having bigger, flexible screens for installations would make creating virtual worlds even easier. With this technology it should be also possible to form different bodies like a sphere aswell. Let’s hope for market-ready products soon.
I posted about the Tenori-On before, and it seems that audio interfaces for electronic music are becoming more and more of a high-tech thing. I stumpled over the LEMUR by accident, looked at the website and was just amazed by how this multi-touch interface offers sheer endless possibilities of controls. And what’s really interesting is, how they managed to have a multi-touch surface on a screen that actually recognizes exact coordinates. We will have to look into this more detailed. Make sure to check out the video demos.
Deskrama is a portable development from Digitarama, an interactive space viewing machine that reacts to a viewer’s bodily movement. Deskrama is a low-cost interactive space browser for three dimensional architectural designs. Moving its light-weight LCD panel on a plan drawing of a building displays on the LCD panel a three dimensional interior view of the building model as if it were placed on the plan and sectioned at the position where the panel touches the drawing. The key idea is a spatial synchronization of different architectural representations such as a two dimensional abstraction and photo realistic three dimensional perspective.
