Interactive Systems
- The unsuccessful view from the window is easy to disguise with Philips' multi-touch device The Daylight Window. One touch is enough!
It's a revolutionary digital technology, butand at the same time a new word in interior design. Walls, floors and ceilings will turn into giant monitors and projection screens and will learn to respond to gestures, touches and movements around the room. These "smart" devices free us from the need to painfully remember key combinations - PIN codes, numbers, codes. Thus, the border between the virtual world and reality will be erased naturally. Surprised? Well, know this: developers from iO, Philips and 3M are already doing this.
Like in the movies
Remember the scene from Steven Spielberg's movie"Minority Report"? The image of Tom Cruise controlling a computer by simply waving his hands in front of the screen was and remains the most vivid dream of the computer interface of the future. The developers took the director's idea as a challenge. Armed with the slogan "Our hands are the best weapon for storming technological walls", they got to work.
- Sensitive Table and Sensitive Wall interactive systems react not only to touch, but also to gestures and movement around the room, iOO, iO and 3M.
Just touch it!
Royal Philips Electronics has releasedmarket revolutionary device - The Daylight Window. What is it? The window glass is actually a multi-touch screen that responds to touch (the system is called free interface). Thus, by touching it, you can easily change the view from the window that irritates you, select, and also adjust the time of day and even the weather. The model will go on sale after being tested in a network of Japanese hotels. There is not long to wait! The walls, floor and ceiling will soon turn into giant monitors and projection screens that respond to our gestures and touches.
I am being followed
Italian Gianpietro Gai from the iO design groupmade another invention - the interactive projection generator iOO. How does it work? A special device (its patented name is CORE) projects an image onto a plane - a wall, floor, ceiling or table. A built-in "peephole", reminiscent of a surveillance camera, records all your movements and movements around the room, "digests" this information and changes the video sequence in accordance with the set mode. For example, by stepping on a virtual carpet in the form of a meadow, you will scare away insects and trample the grass. By dipping your fingers into an aquarium projected onto a table, you will send ripples through the water. With one wave of your hand, you can draw a rainbow or a sunset on the wall. The visual effects can be very different - it all depends on your imagination. If desired, you can connect speakers to the projector and select the appropriate sound background. Miracles, and nothing more!
- Sensitive Table and Sensitive Wall interactive systems react not only to touch, but also to gestures and movement around the room, iOO, iO and 3M.
- What's behind the window? Day or night, New York or Tokyo? The Philips' multi-touch device The Daylight Window does not limit your imagination in anything.
The device can be purchased online at ioodesign.com (approximate price 5,000 euros).
