Interactive Systems
- The unsuccessful view from the window is easy to disguise with Philips' multi-touch device The Daylight Window. One touch is enough!
This is a revolutionary digital technology, butAt the same time, a new word in interior design. The walls, floor and ceiling will turn into giant monitors and projection screens and will learn to respond to gestures, touch and movement around the room. These "smart" devices free us from the need to painfully memorize key combinations - pin codes, numbers, ciphers. Thus, the boundary between the virtual world and reality will be erased in a natural way. Are you surprised? So know: the developers of companies iO, Philips and 3M do it now.
Like in the movies
Remember the scene from Steven Spielberg's "Specialopinion"? The image of Tom Cruise, who runs the computer, just waving his hands in front of the screen, was and remains the brightest dream of the computer interface of the future. The developers took the director's plan as a challenge. Armed with the slogan "Our hands are the best weapon for storming technological walls," they started 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!
Royal Philips Electronics has released onrevolutionary appliance market - The Daylight Window. What is he like? Window glass is actually a multi-touch screen that responds to touch (the system is called a free interface). Thus, by touching it, it is easy to change the view from the window that annoys you, to pick up, and also to adjust the time of day and even the weather. The model will go on sale after it has been tested in a Japanese hotel chain. No long wait! Walls, floors and ceilings will soon turn into giant monitors and projection screens that respond to our gestures and touch.
Watching me
Italian Japietro Guy from the iO group of designersmade another invention - an interactive projector generator iOO. How does he work? A special device (its patented name CORE) projects the image on a plane - a wall, floor, ceiling or table. Built into it, "eye", reminiscent of a security camera, captures all your movements and movements around the room, "digests" this information and, in accordance with the established regime, changes the video sequence. For example, stepping on a virtual carpet in the form of a meadow, you scare the insects and take the grass. Put your fingers in the aquarium, projected on the table, let the water ripple through the water. One stroke of the hand you can draw a rainbow or a sunset on the wall. Visual effects can be very different - it all depends on your imagination. If desired, you can connect the speakers to the projector and select the appropriate sound background. Miracles, and only!
- 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.
You can purchase the device through the Internet on the site ioodesign.com (approximate price 5 000 euros).
