Just like all other international companies, Panasonic thinks about our future on a daily basis and they try to come up today with tomorrow’s tools. It’s clear to everybody that the TV, IT and Internet have a key place in our everyday lives today. Panasonic based themselves on this statement to develop an interactive TV wall. Yes, we are talking about a wall… with a touch sensitive screen that has the surface of two 110″ TV’s. (you just need a big house or share the TV with your neighbour). This wall not only enables you to watch TV, but also to surf on the Internet, read emails, listen to music and even see who’s ringing your doorbell. Since it’s a touch sensitive screen, it gives you the interactivity to play some basketball or even practice your piano skills on the screens, as shown on the video. An unusual TV also needs an unusual remote control, and as you can see, it looks more like a GameCube pad than a real remote.

[…] The future of user interfaces for computer technology looks fascinating and full of amazing surprises. After having showcased the eery magic of seeing images displayed into thin air, user interface researcher Jeff Han guides you to see how amazing will be working with computers once we will have gotten rid of mouses and will begin to draw and manipulate screen objects directly with our fingers. Jeff Han is a research scientist for NYU’s Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, and the inventor of an “interface-free” touch-driven computer screen. The concept is very close to one of my previous posts http://www.futuristics.eu/news/archives/29 […]
