Tangible Media - Amazing Technology

The Tangible Media Group, led by Professor Hiroshi Ishii, explores the Tangible Bits & Radical Atoms visions to seamlessly couple the dual world of bits and atoms by giving dynamic physical form to digital information and computation.By uses of this technology you can see real effects and live examples.
 
At the MIT Media Lab, the Tangible Media Group believes the future of computing is tactile. Unveiled today, the in FORM is MIT's new scrying pool for imagining the interfaces of tomorrow. Almost like a table of living clay with colors, the in FORM is a surface that three-dimensionally changes shape, allowing users to not only interact with digital content in meat space, but even hold hands with a person hundreds of miles away. And that's only the beginning.Its an very impressive technology.

Created by Daniel Leithinger and Sean Follmer and overseen by Professor Hiroshi Ishii, the technology behind the in FORM isn't that hard to understand. It's basically a fancy Pin screen, one of those executive desk toys that allows you to create a rough 3-D model of an object by pressing it into a bed of flattened pins.Its an initiative digital lifestyle. technology. With in FORM, each of those "pins" is connected to a motor controlled by a nearby laptop, Its works with collection of pins. which can not only move the pins to render digital content physically, but can also register real-life objects interacting with its surface thanks to the sensors of a hacked Microsoft Kinect.
