Pulp-Based Computing

M.I.T. Media Lab's Pulp-Based Computing project was rather interesting. The team's website says Pulp-Based Computing is a series of explorations that combine smart materials, papermaking, and printing. By integrating electrically active inks and fibers during the papermaking process, it is possible to create sensors and actuators that behave, look, and feel like paper. These composite materials not only leverage the physical and tactile qualities of paper, but can also convey digital information, spawning new and unexpected application domains in ubiquitous and pervasive computing at extremely affordable costs. Fluid Interfaces Stay tuned.
