Shade Pixel
Posted on Mar 28, 08 06:11 AM PDT
Shade Pixel takes the road less traveled by rendering information on a deformable skin surface, resulting in a 3D texture output. Developed by researchers at the Design Media Lab at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), you will find a dot-matrix array of solenoids attached to a flexible Spandex skin. The right signals will cause the respective solenoids to move accordingly, creating characters that will rise and fall from the surface accordingly. Other than obvious use for the blind, are there any other practical use you can think of this at the moment?
