So when are they going to combine this with smart paper? It would be pretty sweet to have google maps on a real honest to god folding map.

@polymath:
That would just mean that you’d have to fold it up!

*g* get me some smart paper with touch sensors that can take being folded and I’ll integrate that right away..

hey I never said it would be easy! there’s a reason why I switched from electrical engineering… but I did find this http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/24/samsung-concept-phone-unfolds-to-hypnotize-onlookers-with-flexib/

is there foldable smart paper? Cause it wouldn’t be very hard to add capacitive touch to it, then you hook it all to a small wearable computer. Must go do research now ^_^

is it just a coincidence that tisch is an acronym for “Tangible Interactive Surfaces for Collaboration between Humans” and also means “table” in German?

@alex: nope, not coincidence ;-) a colleague of mine came up with it, as the first hardware device it ran on was a big ftir-based interactive table.
