Folks over at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Media Lab have been working on a lot of cool stuff and one of them is an interactive Dynamic Shape Display called inFORM that seem to have come from a sci-fi film. Ironically, inFORM has little to do with the actual screen. As if that wasn’t cool enough, the team also demonstrated how inFORM can be used to remotely interact with an object with the help of an XBOX Kinect sensor and a camera. The setup enables them to move an object, such as a ball and a flashlight, through inFORM’s uncanny ability to replicate the shape of a human hand. According to the team, they’re “currently exploring a number of application domains for the inFORM shape display” including Geospatial data (for 3D models and designs) and Volumetric Data for medical tools such as CT scanners.
