Intellegent Walls Move, Flirt and Redefine Design

Amongst all these innovations it’s nice to see that utterly normal objects are also being radically transformed. It can hear you, respond to your touch and anticipate your actions. If it sounds like a robot you are half way there. It’s an intelligent surface that hopes to replace walls in workspaces and on billboards.
HypoSurface behaves like liquid in a controlled state. It responds to sound, movement and Internet feeds with waves, patterns, logos and even text.
“it draws the eyes because no one has seen anything like it before. It captures the digital ‘mood’ that is in the air, and people are delighted to participate in its intelligent sensuality – they immerse themselves in the wonder of it.”
The latest craze in design has been to tailor a specific ambiance to the individual. When someone walks in the room they should feel more relaxed, at home and welcome. Bill Gates spent millions on his home. When you walk in a room your retina is scanned and the artwork changes to your finest tastes as the lights dim, even the shade of color on the walls seems to deepen into the color that best suits your blood pressure.
HypoSurface brings that attention to personality one step further. It allows the user to play with it as a three dimensional object. And it plays back. The idea of a design space that can be in constant flux to be formed around an individual is groundbreaking.
“Every once in a rare while a product or experience is brought into the world that shifts perspective, ignites curiously and charges us to design beyond our imaginations. HypoSurfac is one of these rare inventions. The HypoSurface™ itself is like an organism; responsive, stunning and organic in nature. It is captivating and full of endless possibilities. The HypoSurface will transform any event, environment and experience into a talked-about one!” -Jody Levy, O2 Creative Solutions, Detroit

This reminds me of Minority Report with Tom Cruise. As he walked down the Mall and subway the billboards (in public) scanned his retina and recognized him and tailored the advertisements to the most recent purchases he had made. Instead of reacting TO my mood it should work to INHANCE my calm.

@BigMike, That entire sequence in the movie was modeled after the technology that is now installed at Bill Gate’s house. Pretty insane.
I think that overall there will be some very blatant privacy issues with that type of marketing. But those are questions that are just arising now and need to be addressed before larger scale retina scanning projects come into existence.
Oh wait, Vegas employs them every day and can kick you out of casinos based on information they collude with other casinos.

Wow!!! That sounds fantastic. What would it look like if you were furious when you walked into the room? Amazing idea.

@Patricia, just think if you were feeling frisky. Better yet, bad idea!
