When is a bubble not a bubble? When it’s a SCREEN!

I am rarely shocked at the discoveries made today regarding screen technologies, but this research and proof of concept has energized me to no end. There are many potential uses for this concept. For example something I’d call, “Projected Live Image Control”.  A user could control what sounds were delivered to a matrix of ‘screens’ that would react to build a visual experience. The scenes could resonate (literally) through the matrix.  Too complicated to visualize? Think of an echo chamber. Each echo heard represents a scene. Each scene could react physically with other scenes. Pass through scenes and create new ones. Physical objects could pass through these “screens” and get “re-skinned” with a new depth and reflectivity controlled visual by the sound association. Could this be a new cinema experience? A new art canvas? A new 3D teaching mechanism? Remove gravity and you have an entirely new experience.

You’ve no doubt seen a reflection in a large bubble made of soap before. What if you could control what that image or series of images in that bubble surface!? And now imagine being able to pass a physical object through that scene without breaking the bubble…  Take a look.
