It is quite clever. Each tile is appears to be the software and processor and display in one.

The fact that you don't click an icon or launch a command line instruction, but rather put the program on the substrate.

Note how selecting your purchase simply involved dragging th song from the music tile to the shoppig tile - and sending your purchase simply required you touch your cell phone to the shopping mofule - and to play the animation attach it to the time machine module, which also played the weather radar time lapse.

Pretty interesting concept.

I would imagine that eventually you would have a single tile that would take on whatever role you needed at that moment.

Wow..thatlooks cool. The project seems to be very practical as almost everything can be done using the invention as we saw on the video. And navigating between the options should be easy, after all all you do is you do is use a pen and clip on the appropriate function tiles. Me likes

well, it does look cool, but how is it better than an ordinary touch screen display? And having so many specialized panels?
