Amazing Technology Invented By MIT - Tangible Media
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 พ.ย. 2013
- At the MIT Media Lab, the Tangible Media Group believes the future of computing is tactile. Unveiled today, the inFORM is MIT's new scrying pool for imagining the interfaces of tomorrow. Almost like a table of living clay, the inFORM is a surface that three-dimensionally changes shape, allowing users to not only interact with digital content in meatspace, but even hold hands with a person hundreds of miles away. And that's only the beginning.
Created by Daniel Leithinger and Sean Follmer and overseen by Professor Hiroshi Ishii, the technology behind the inFORM isn't that hard to understand. It's basically a fancy Pinscreen, one of those executive desk toys that allows you to create a rough 3-D model of an object by pressing it into a bed of flattened pins. With inFORM, each of those "pins" is connected to a motor controlled by a nearby laptop, which can not only move the pins to render digital content physically, but can also register real-life objects interacting with its surface thanks to the sensors of a hacked Microsoft Kinect.

This kind of tech should be used to make brail interface tablets for the blind
YEES
it already is : /
Proof?
i dont know the article by name, but some people are working on a kind of tablet with little bumps that can be pushed up with air, but its hard to do because the dots need to be close
***** go for it, girlfriend!
This looks like something I would buy but never use again.
Lol... I was thinking the same thing. Cool looking... yet, once you think about it the thing is rather useless.
+Buddery Kittenz you turn into a vibrator?
it's a prototype. it will evolve from here into something more useful and economically affordable.
Mellowman468 Still probably wouldn't use it
Buddery Kittenz
Exactly. It isn't a matter of whether they can make it better and cheaper. It is a question of what you could use it for.
I can see some uses, just not a lot. More something one might want for a VERY big company so you can impress people during a presentation. It is doubtful the thing would actually relay information better than a simple slide... but it would still impress people that you have such a device.
That said, if they were to improve it BIG TIME and then turn the table on it's side... you might have a cool 3d TV where the pixels are literally jumping out at you.
Do people actually realize how incredible this is? It's almost like they've created a portal to bring parts of themselves to different locations.
For real!
oh hey mike
@@Glader65 hello!👋
@@MikeToob never expected to see you here, how's the channel progress?
@@Glader65 Going great! thanks.
But we just wanted the music to continue playing when we clicked out of TH-cam
@@KaLL_Sally r/woooosh
Lux Ace I got the joke I was replying with another joke :/
@A. AMAYA 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I got that
@A. AMAYA how do you?
just take premium
Now make it portable and you can be a Big Hero 6 villain!
FRISHR Hahahaha, very good !
FRISHR like in big hero 6😂
FRISHR microbot? Haha
FRISHR lmaooo I was just thinking that
I actually think of that too 😂
so they found a use for the Kinect after all?
lol
+David Roman lol x2
LMAO THAT WILL MAKE SKYRIM SOOOO MUCH MORE FUN :D
Try Morrowind m8.
lolx4
1:14 I'm too immature for this video
lmao
Oblivion I didn’t even see that lmao
First thing that came to my mind as well. I'm pretty bad
Explain plz?
Kool-Aid Man it’s a duck
“Remember: Testing is the future, and the future starts with you!”
“ That said, if you are simple-minded, old, or irradiated in such a way that the future should not start with you, please return to your primitive tribe, and send back someone better qualified for testing.”
I’ve played that game so much I know all the quotes lol
Future starts with an 'f' and not 'u'
Nope.... couldn't keep a straight face
Now lets built those plastic pins on a nanometer scale !
oh wow .yes i would love to see that
So if only one pin was up it would be a needle
Sean Lu
thats why you wouldnt put up a pin XD
Pretty cool. That might make this concept brilliant.
HansImWald YES!
in a bed made out of this, could reposition a bed ridden patient automatically to prevent bed sores? could it give massage therapy? Tech of the future!
Nice idea
Inception did it first!
Yes, exactly what we all want to sleep on! A BUNCH OF HARD PINS!
Ive already seen anti bed sore beds in uk Hospitals.They work with a compresor which is at the end of the bed.They are able to inflate various cells in the bed.
D Charger not the same as the tensile surface is much larger and only somewhat effective if it were used in the same way as Micro needling it would surely improve circulation and reduce tissue death cool nonetheless
So cool! I have been working on a custom design and didn't know anyone else was working on something like this, but I find it incredible that this has already been made!
what programming language did you use to make it. also the hardware . please i need this . i also have the same idea .
that too 10 yrs ago
2018: We’re going to have flying cars in the future
2118: this on your phone
Now make each square the size of human cells and you can really start something
Same thing I was thinking
With the way that technology is currently at, there would be no problem, since it demonstrated the positioning of the pins in complex mathematical formulas...
Logistically would be a nightmare though, because it depends on the resolution of the kinetic device AND the size of both the actuators AND the medium used for the pins, and, well, this demo is from November/2013, nearly 2 and 1/2 years ago, they may have made significant progress.
Nah, i think the ideas and any potential developments have been scrapped.
xtc94x There's a link for a 2015 video right at the start of the video though, ROFLMAO.
We are both blind.
:o
is 2037, we use this to wipe our ass.
time machine
Happi Fix the different rough blocks have to hurt though in the future
Why not now?
Christmas Tree our ass isn't hard enough yet. we need to evolve first
Happi Fix there Is no fucking way we evolve in that small time window
1:32 finally a solution for my mom when she wants the remote, now she doesn't have to call me from 60 miles away
Just imagine very thin sticks making very precise represention of city and buildings
lol it's funny to watch this in 2045
After seeing all these cool inventions... I can believe that.
Nah bitches please I'm watching this in 3024 and I'm gonna die laughing
I'm watching this in 93719594 AD. I'm just this rock flying through space.
be all like I'm in the future galaxy
Lol, it's funny to read this in the year 3 after a time travel from 3016 were inmortality is posible xD
I'd really like to see these synced to some music with bass, that would be amazing to watch
An actual use for Kinect
You are definantly a white person.
Grizzlyman MeinTeil im not and i love bass boosted music
Title should be:
"Weird table built by MIT Visionaries -The purpose of this table is still to be discovered!."
Okay but what are the odds of the machining to make something with that level of fidelity coming before energy field manipulation
srinath bhagavatula Yeah but that technology was something extremely useful that the public was yearning for. Just the fact that he and a lot of other people don’t see what this is good for is enough to say that there’s a low chance this will be developed.
In the video it showed that it could be used to illustrate math and charts for instance
I can definitely see that be used in virtual realities to simulated realistic floors and in the future maybe touch, the design is rudimentary but the way it translate visual datas to "precise" moving parts will likely have a lot of applications in sectors where feedback to human is needed.
😂😂 true
But does it have a headphone jack...🤔
lol
A Person Yeah, right next to the floppy disk.
A Person yeah
Yes, and it also has a suit, several belts, armor, and two holsters. Oh, and RF weaponry. Isn't that fantastic?
No. $20.00 extra for a toggle.
very cool, now they just need to shrink the blocks a thousand times smaller
And work on more than one direction
JonnyInfinite they will
Imagine this technology, but with blocks the size of a pixel, then we could use a tablet, let's say, of 4k resolution, this means 3840*2160 block, we could then create and manipulate actual images so close to reality, or even moving 4k screens, etc..
+TheMaster-Y This. This is the best way to explain something like this. Good job.
+TheMaster-Y You can't reenact all images using this, imagine something that requires a gap between the raising bar thingy. I want you to think about a football player kicking a ball in mid air. 4K sux, 8K OLED FTW!
+TheMaster-Y Yes, at some point the human race will have to be engineered smaller, so we can be tiny enough to use the nano-devices they will be making...
+Rovic Candava ᵐᵒᵗᶤᵒᶰ ᵈᵉˢᶤᵍᶰ very true, but it's almost certain that someday this will be innovated further so scenarios such as what you have mentioned will become possible to reenact.
I like your style
If you make the little squares into bigger hexagons, this could be integrated into a board gaming table and used to fashion 3D board games or landscapes for DnD. I want one now!
Did you even see the amount of gear needed to "actuate" the little stepping stones?
imagine 50 years from now when this technology is on a micro level and embedded in nearly any surface. incredible
That sounds amazing!
You could make some beautiful artwork pieces with that . Or plug them into speakers and have it bounce up and down the the sound waves
+Harrison Smith That's probably the coolest idea yet for this thing. That and the notification signal for phones. However, using it for music would probably degrade the technology very quickly, as it'll constantly be going up and down rapidly. A kick in EDM for example would make the pins representing bass have to shoot up nearly instantaneously.
well I tried
Harrison Smith Nobody else thought of it, and it's definitely the sickest idea for this thing that hasn't been presented in the video. You succeeded.
yay
That would be amazing
Here's a vague idea: Imagine your whole house floor made of these (each thin as 1-5mm), you wont need half of furniture. Your bed as you want when you want any size you want. Any size or shape of chair. Mounted to walls => customizable shelves. One room can be your living and bedroom. Lot more. Less everything =. more greener for envrnmnt
Haa haa.. Those bars won't be so lengthy as it's waste of material.. :p
That's, actually a pretty great idea. But it would require a big gap between floors to make room for retracting bars
+Gautam Chand Nutalapati That was exactly my immediate thought... just like the bed seen in The Wolverine (2013) where the old man lays. It will be very good for earth, very less space required.
+Because I'm Batman! it would also mean the death of the pull out couch
+Because I'm Batman! No it wouldn't... you still have to build the bars out of something and would result in having higher gross resources to build.
Imagine multiple grids connected to visualize topography. Pretty cool stuff! 😁
Can be used by the military in tactical planning. But they kind of already have a similar technology using a sand box.
Damn, I remember watching this video back in 2013 and being completely amazed by it.
this reminds me of the brick phones. give it 5 yrs and it will have evolved to an unbelievable product. imagine the same size display (or whatever it is) rather with millions of micro particles, coupled with the wave levitation technology. those huge pillars are pretty much like pixels, make them smaller and you get better resolution, make them particles instead of fixed pillars and you have an amazing technology. this is a great baby step. good job!
Welcome to 2022. Care to make another prediction?
That makes a lot of Scientific sense!
we will give it 5 more years
I too was like OMG THE FUTURE and then I looked at the sate, 9 years ago
I don’t care where the funds come from, world governments need to invest more in R&D if we want “the future” to happen within our lifetimes.
its like on the wolverine movie the japanese guy sick bed
Echiiru exactly my thought wow !
Echiiru Hollywood always tells us the future because our technology levels are actually decades ahead of what is in stores. Predictive programming is used for brainwashing, but now that Trump is in office the elites won't be able to horde all the technology anymore.
Constellar Diamond hahahahaha dude get a grip
was waiting for someone to comment
n Look who's talking lol still think its a "conspiracy" right?
One more step towards the future. U guys really nailed it!
Well this technology is great.... It can be used easily to create models of further future technology easily if used wisely 👍
And I'm out here trying to figure out how to find the angle of a damn triangle using proportion cross products
Mary Jewana the sum of the angles of a triangle? it's 180°
at the film Big Hero 6, by Hiro Hamada 😅
More like x-men the one were wolverine goes to japan and that guy has a future looking cancer death bed
yeahh, i think so
yea i think same 😂😂
i was gonna comment that lol 😂😂😂
.
It solves problems that no one needed solved. Great job.
this is amazing.. I've been watching this forever
the *future*
Ryan Smith Yep, but I know you're just asking for likes as all youtubers that comment on other people's videos, so I won't like your comment. I will just give you the reason.
not u again

What sorcery this be?
+Pez's Vlogs|Gaming|Random Stories Ok your obsised with bo3... that quote isnt even really from bo3 anyone else said it before bo3 even came out
did somebody call me lol
ha thats funny isk

Magic is an abomination! *Anti Mage*
But seriously, it's very cool and will be useful in the future.
That was freaking awesome!
If the tangible surface had more "pixel" like boxes, it would practical increase the shape resolution though. But this thing is unimaginably brilliant😮
This has been a good year for porn, first VR and now this.
Imagine the pussybilities
Dangit! Why'd that have to be such a good pun!?
+Llonk Nomis I first read "pussybites"
Imagine this technology used for every pixel on your cell phone. Or better yet your TV! Your screen would become more interactive in ways we haven't experienced yet and would truly allude too an illusion of 3D without glasses.
Kyler F idfso
I'm imagining an interactive porn now...
Great bro
1)Light rays cannot be tamed.... LINE SEGMENTS have a fixed length but RAYS do not.... By this, I mean you cannot program light rays to travel to a definite distance unlike the solid pixels used here in this technology.
2) Considering we could tame light, but if the rays didn't reach our eyes, we would see nothing that's happening on the screen.
I think that's called sex.
man i wish i would be smart enough to study at the MIT and develop such things
its incredible and i always follow stuff like this with joy and excitement
this is pretty cool and a good start for an amazing bit of tech. the scene with the dude and his phone was funny though lol. inFORM was like " answer your damn phone moron! "
this is revolutionary technology, you guys just aren't creative enough to think of the possibilities
+Girlie Gamer Exactly what I was thinking. Also, finer, more precise iterations will only expand the possibilities.
+Girlie Gamer You're right some people like myself aren't that creative. So can you tell me some possibilities this invention is capable of achieving?
+Girlie Gamer "You guys" ... What about yourself? ;-)
Rainbow SHEEP!!! fu.. xD
+Girlie Gamer
It's definately a step. I said the same for holograms when some dude made a 3d cube of LEDs.
It's all just a step
I don't understand why "2k" people will give a thumbs down to this video. Haters everywhere. Amazing innovation!
Martin Whyte Don't say "hater". It's ridiculous.
Itz Susu I liked the video. I see no reason why not to like. Other people dislike. For a reason. "Hater" is a retarded word.
I don't to disagree. But sometimes there are reasons to dislike we can't understand immediately.
Green Bastard For example
Because some people don't think it's *that* amazing. It's neat looking but nothing groundbreaking
天才！！！！驚いてずっと口が開いたままでした。
The implications are incredible!
And I was like "woah technology!"
137 years ago Edison invented the light bulb... pretty amazing right?
em?
Humphry Davy, 1802, first electric light.
Warren de la Rue, 1840, first light bulb.
Thomas Edison, 1880, first commercial light bulb.
em?
No-one cares
no he didn't.
Dmitry Shklovsky still, pretty cool
Its only been 137 years? wow we are moving fast
This is so cool seeing this in 2020. You could so use this for at home examples and maybe even to do things on another planet from Earth. They really are thinking well for the future...
its on my bucket list to mess around with this
Increasing the number of actuators and reducing the size of the pixels will work wonders!
yup!! really awsomm technology :P
Exactly what I was thinking! There really is no limit. Also, the ability to use this system to control magnetic liquid metals would be amazing. Kind of like the floating computers in Man of Steel.
Oh yes!!! Just remembered that!!
now wait 10-15 years for this to upscale resolution and find some nice practical usage and watch the miracle happen
Maybe when you bid chat people this will happen
I remember watching this video when I was 6 and I was so amazed
MIT, man! Smartest people on the planet. We are going somewhere in the nearest future...
MIT are not the smartest, smartest people are there in MIT
*But can it run Crysis?*
You got to be kidding me
The computer might be able to, but it probably runs on Linux.

I had an idea like this for a phone, where things like buttons could pop out of the screen and stuff like that! This seems cool! Hopefully someone will make that someday!
Now if you make every pin like 3x3mm big and attach a small computer with updating software/plugins this would be really epic. Perfect console for smart homes, easy 3d modelling and a lot more...really interesting
your the person.
I was wondering what the practical applications for this would be.
it's definitely neat, but I can't figure out a productive way for it to be used.
you suggest (I think) an interface for a house?
that seems excessive to me. but at the same time I can't think of a purpose.
it seems to have two functions.
1) it can (to am extent) simulate 3d objects.
2) it can accept instructions and morph to perform limited tasks.
so using the second function, it could do what I believe you suggest.
make it look like your house > press on an area of the display > it morphs to display the selected area in greater detail
that's cool... but it seems to be a (somewhat) large machine. table sized. so... bigger than a tablet.
I dunno. I get flustered when I see awesome tech with no clear, practical and pragmatic use.
practical applications ? interacting with waifus
Noone
You are never allowed to use my interface 😷
The first computers filled entire buildings and could barely make simple calculations.
It's about the possibilities for the tech. It will get smaller over time and who knows what it eventually be used for? What if a very sophisticated version worked as your bed? Every actuator rises or sinks based on your weight and movement to to give you perfect posture while sleeping or even just sitting. Tons of ideas flying around for what this tech can become. This is just the beginning.
Streetmagik
There it is!
That's actually what I was looking for.
Let's take it one step further...
The entire floor is made of these things.
You walk into a large, house-sized box. There's a tablet interface. You specify that you are the new inhabitants. You, your partner and two kids. The tablet displays a few basic home layouts. You choose one.
Sections of the floors begin to rise, creating walls, separating areas and creating rooms.
The new walls change color.
The kids run down the hall to their new room. You follow and watch them play hopscotch on the floor. The floor blinks in time with their jumps.
You and your partner go to the room that is to be yours. You step inside and ask for the door to be closed.
The floor where the entryway was rises and you are in a soundproof space. The floor and walls begin to glow a smoky red.
Hanky Panky protocols are initiated.
Imagine what would be possible if each one was 1/10 the size
Umpalumpa Trump what..?
Less painful masterbation
Moonbae 13 if it was 10 times smaller
Kobe Akizaki if each pin was 10x smaller
Why not 1/100 or even 1/1,000 of the original size?
Vat19 be like: But does it have a bottle opener?

This legitimately cool I would love to know the science behind this or process of how they made it :D
German-Shinigami same
"SCIENCE"
The Kinect reads 3D data of the person far away. Lets say that persons does a thumbs up under the Kinect. The Kinect takes note of the hands positioning, and then sends it to the computer on the other side.
The computer with the data tells every wooden block how high it should be to minic the thumbs up.
Pretty simple!

Super cool... Now I'm imagining an entire office, that looks just like an empty room. I walk in and the whole floor roof and walls are just like the table.
I walk in, say "work" and a table and a chair forms from the ground.
After 5 years I still love that idea.

Endless applications for this type of tangible from virtual environment technology. Imagine these pins being as thin as a fiber optic cable, all in a super compact device; all hooked up to a built in kinect/projector ceiling... Talking about sealing a deal with a virtual-tangible handshake from across the world, feeling the touch from a sourly missed family member living abroad, presentation apps, medical help, etc. etc. etc.
Great work as usual MIT.
great.. i was wondering how this can be used... got my answer... ;)
or bringing tupac back to life
What!!! This proyect is amazing!!!
this is so coool!!!
i've seen this At The EXPO 2015,no words, Just awesome
TheChris 03 Where? I have been there but not seen this
Tamara Di Marco At The stand of khazakistan i think or thailand
Wouldn't it be much better with thinner blocks?
*****
Yes, that is true. I can't wait for it to be readily available to the public. :)
Jason Bentley They can always do that later... like the transistors on microchips are made at 4 nano-meters now! It's easier for them to test and perfect on a small scale first. It's going to be awesome :D
Yeeees that is so true
slaughtered777
Yeah that's a good point!
Also if each block had a screen, and backlights, it would be even more effective
OH MY GOD THIS IS AWESOME
Now this is incredible tech!
omg wolverine 2, that Japanese guy's chair
yes!
this one step closer to the nanobots from Big Hero 6
Simply Amazing
*IT'S A FREAKING MASTERPIECE!*
and I cant even set my LEGOs straight...
The interaction reminded me of Superman's Fortress of Solitude
Do want!
this is amazing. (this probably isnt possible) but imagine a room with the floor made of these and you could interact with it and add furniture with them. that would be amazing
I could see this becoming a great accessibility tool
First thought after seeing it, what if the pins could be much smaller, then renderings could be more accurate. -Like pixels on a retina display :)
Now you can slap other person in the face during skype video calls.
+Laurynas S. uppercuts will work great, too.
lol XD
+Robert Bert I think uppercuts would be superior in this particular case. Nice thinking. xD
Saw another video with similar technology in china. But mainly for interactive wall display. This is wayyyyy cooler and with possible practical application. Bravo.
oh my goodness... no words for this geniuses
Just imagine when those pieces are tiny, almost microscopic, transistor size. It'll be like Real virtuality instead of virtual reality, or something
Great comment! That would be great!!!!!
So many haters displaying their ignorance in typical TH-cam Trolling fashion. The implications of this technology are astounding and far reaching. This is just a single step people. I see this being revolutionary. Yes today it is crude (albeit sophisticated crude it's amazing now), but the first computer was also crude. Compare the first automobiles to the cars of today. You haters are either unimaginative, ignorant, arrogant or all of the above. This tech could and probably will change everything.
Imagine this technology with needle like precision or even micron scale precision.
What are these astounding implications ? (one of them) I can't see the use of this, even with micro scale precision, even if you can put you entire body in it, even if the cost of production were 1 $ : what would people / professionnal do with this ? You can't argue that something is revolutionary just because it seems useless first. This video shows beautiful things and could be distracting for 10 minutes in a luxury hotel reception - Do we except that from MIT ?
Stève A Interactive displays for one. They show you this in the video. I'm sorry you lack imagination, but it's right there as you watch. Imagine a person or AI helping you achieve something like solve a problem. Perhaps play a game in a much more tangible way than a video game. Imagine a resolution high enough where you can have a near 3D conversation with someone.
William Hayden Sorry if i offended you. What I watched did not embraced my imagination. I do not need to move a ball distantly, or any object. You do ? I don't need to show 3D object to explain something to someone, videos are fully enough. I don't not need 3D conversation as I don't even need video conversation, as most people : text or voice are fully enough. Tangible interaction could make one possible revolution : in sex industry, for distant relationship - this is another topic.
Stève A
So from what I've gathered from his argument is that it's only useful if you're not smart enough to figure out something from a TH-cam video. Full 3D conversations would be cool but not very useful (I'd rather use Skype or something than a very expensive set of ugly blocks). Also, what if somebody hacks into it and starts moving around stuff? The only implications I see are moving things in a very limited area (any bigger would probably be even more expensive), a cool toy that you mess about with for ten minutes and never use again, a novelty communication item that you use for ten minutes and never use again, and something for helping idiots. And if you want to help idiots, leave them be. You don't want to encourage stupidity in the long term, it would be optimal if they were the minority.
Big Hero 6 is alive. Grate work Kenji!
Awesome guys, this could change the future.
It's cool, but I don't see how this is the "future of communication" yet.. It might be a bridge to something in that area, but this doesn't exactly add anything remarkable to communication.
[add] Never mind, I just realised this allows you to give each other hand jobs over the internet.

3 D PIXELATION,
cool to see it's interpretation of sound tones, frequencies, MUSIC
