Quite a bit of this going on at the moment. Hypersurface or interactive screen like surfaces. Check out the Dario Buzzini’s website at interaction-ivrea for his personal interest in taking these ideas of interactive surfaces on.

The surface of the wallpaper can display text and images according to the input received from a computer.The wallpaper works like a low resolution and low refresh rate display, giving you the possibility to change patterns and contents on your walls. For example you can read your emails or SMS, but also view the images taken with your mobile phone camera. The function is that of decorating our home environments in a new and constantly changing way. In productive terms, it is interesting to note that this project started like a thesis project and then developed in a real commercial product. At the exhibition will be shown a new re-engineered version.
