Paper that talks to you

Mike Howes September 4, 2007 1:05 PM ET in Tech

Researchers in Sweden are refining technology that could have large boards and store displays talking to you when you touch them.

Combine paper with printed graphic codes, throw in a bit of pressure sensitive conductive ink and the paper talks to you when you touch it.
This technology has already been used with a prototype ‘music display board’. Music albums printed on paper allows you to sample the music just by touching the front of the album. The sound is then streamed right out of the paper.

Check out the video.

    Since you're both the same person, that shouldn't be difficult.

    Better idea: please drag all of your multiple personalities to a group counseling session, and figure out wtf your deal is.

Hey, be nice. Icrontic is full of good people, we promise.
