@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.

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

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 ^_^

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/

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

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.
