The Future of Information: Touchscreens EVERYWHERE!
And an even blurrier divide between real and virtual worlds
Digital interfaces are going big -- so big pretty soon we might not be able to distinguish between what's real and what's fake, whether we're talking about ads on the street or the reflection in the mirror.
That's 'cause designers are starting to experiment with screens that penetrate all aspects of the physical world, from the pavement to the bathroom to the air we breathe. Below, we've got a roundup of the coolest -- and, yeah, occasionally disturbing -- design concepts.
Ivan Tihienko's Ringo interface is designed to replace cell phones and PDAs. It's a holographic projection that follows you around like a shadow puppet and does pretty much anything you want: navigate the streets, send email, organize your schedule -- even throw down an air hockey game on the street.
