Interactive Surfaces with Interfaces Sprayed On
World of Sprayable User Interfaces Source: MIT MIT's Sensor Inks for Your Interactive Life Researchers at MIT, along with scientists from the UK, have developed a brand new technology that they're calling a sprayable user interface. These are sprayable sensors with conductive ink that, for example, would enable you to touch the arm of your chair to change the channel on television. This unique user interface can work on just about any surface, including wet, outdoor surfaces, rough and curved surfaces. Vision of a Digital User Interface Future The researchers say their new technology forwards the vision of blending digital user interfaces with the physical environment, including large-scale interactive surfaces. This technology could be part of smart buildings in the future. Specifically, stenciled, airbrushed designs on surfaces that respond to touch. Remarkable Technology...
