Researchers at the U.K.’s University of Sussex developed a shape-changing fog display that projects 3D-looking images directly onto a thin wall of mist, floating in midair. The work represents the ...

A research team from MIT's Tangible Media Group has developed InForm, a dynamic shape display that can shape shift to render 3D content physically. The surface is made up of around 1000 pins -- long, ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Janhoi McGregor (jan-eye) is a reporter who covers technology news. Sharp has unveiled a new type of display that can be made into ...

Computers of the future will change shape, respond to touch and physics, and fold into your pocket. The shape of things to come in the computer world will be anything but flat, predicts one computing ...

Posts from this author will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed. A projector mounted above the surface provides context to the shapeshifting pins, giving them color and ...

This takes "touchscreen" to a whole new level. The Dynamic Shape Display created by MIT is made up of actuators, pins, and linkages that move up and down to create a 3D model of something digital. In ...

Imagine your computer screen could change shape. Imagine if that screen could spring to life at the touch of a fingertip, translating numbers and trends into shapes and gradients you can reach out and ...

The ubiquitous glass touch screen sure seems like it has potential–it’s made interacting with computers feel more like interacting with the world around us. Excepting one fatal flaw: You can’t sink ...
