THE FUTURE

[DrLuke]

That's pretty cool, I love unconventional man-machine-interfaces!

[SaintBaron]

Are there any useful applications of this?

I refuse to believe that computer io peaked with the invention of the flat panel display/mouse + keyboard, it's always exciting to see new stuff like this being researched.

Liquid Doom when

[Curls]

Now we need water that can be recolored through either light or changing the water itself

the application of this on a greater scale is actually pretty great tbh

Literal actual real time strategy

[1/4 Life]

No more sweaty unshowered computer nerds.

[Cyril Connolly]

this is really promising
