For centuries, walls have inspired many artists and craftsmen to create murals, artworks and brainstorm! Now Disney has a great idea! Its not just about turning the wall into art, its about making it really speak for itself.
They are working with Carnegie Mellon University to develop large-scale content-aware sensing systems. Named—Wall++
This is a kind of wall paint. As long as you apply it, you can turn the white wall into a large human-computer interaction interface. ! How to use it specifically - its very simple. First paint the wall with their special conductive coating, and then apply white lime. It will be no different from ordinary walls.
The last step is to install a sensor~
The touch screen after successful installation, It connects to a custom sensor that, like a touchscreen phone, measures the mutual capacitance of the wall, creating a matrix of values ??that allows the wall to sense distance from a human hand or object. After connecting your smart device, it can sense your touch! Touch left and right, and gestures can also be recognized.
You can sense human body movements without touching the wall!
Of course, the presence of objects can also be sensed and recognized ~ wall ++ can detect active devices and their presence by capturing electromagnetic noise in the air s position. For example, it can recognize sliding your iPad~
Recognize that you picked up the electric drill.
Identify that a hair dryer is used~
Or it can also recognize that you have done nothing!
In addition, it can also track the furniture in the room and your movement range, and identify you and smart devices in real time by tracking your body movements. mode of interaction. To put it simply, if you turn on a light, it will sense it!
You will be discovered by it even if you play on the computer.
You will know it even if you turn on the TV and watch it. . And it’s in real time!
The price. . It’s not expensive, only $20 per square meter. When it is mass-produced and commercially used, I believe it will become a necessary infrastructure for smart homes!
