Postdoc In Stanford University, Building As A Display, Transformable Carpet & Dancing Robots
Apr 21st, 2010 by Mike Bennett
Hi from the United States – in the last month I’ve moved from Ireland and started a postdoc in the Psychology Dept in Stanford University. Woot!
Imagine if every building surface was a display…see this very neat video of a 3D projection onto buildings. I like the way their 3D projection takes advantage of the architecture of the buildings, and doesn’t treat the buildings simply as 2D surfaces. Go on, invent paintable displays – paint that turns into a display once it dries.
Deformable transformable carpet that turns into furniture, tables and seats from Shin Yamashita. Ideas for Version 2: Add in a dash of smarts so the carpet knows its shape, with some idea of its function and enable parts of it to be an interactive surface capable of self-reshaping.
Strictly come robot (competition) dancing – would you vote for Kingrass Hoppers or Nichibu Tokotoko Special?
