When it comes to technology, the question on everybody’s lips is ‘What’s next?’ Some students at MIT think the future of computing is tactile. They’ve come up with a surface that three-dimensionally changes shape, allowing users to not only interact with digital content in real life, but even hold hands with a person hundreds of miles away. Named inFORM, it looks almost like a table made of living clay and could represent the future of long-distance interaction. Imagine Skyping with a friend from across the plant and being able to hive five him or play catch with him. Amazing stuff!
