The World Is Your Interface

Information is no longer confined to the pixels on our screens. Instead the entire physical world, even living and breathing matter, are being infused with data, interactivity and intelligence, changing the essence of how we live, work, and play. As the line between real and virtual blurs, the technology disappears into the background and the physical world can become your only interface for accessing digital information.  This demands the invention of new, unprecedented forms of interactivity and interactive technologies to enable them.
