I saw this today on Uncrate while procrastinating about what I wanted to do next at work.
Winscape is a Mac based software that takes two flat panel TV's and turns them into a window view of something sweet. It's position aware, and changes the view according to your movements.
Check out this video to get a sense:
Not only is this incredible, fun and a cool decoration... it's an amazing (albeit tiny) example of where we are headed with mobile technology in the next few years. We live in a world where we are knowingly, nay, willingly allowing devices to track not only our information, but our location and position. An iPhone or Wii Remote knows where you are all they way down to if you are laying on the ground or up on a ladder.
Think of the possibilities. Your phone will know exactly what floor you are on in a building and which elevator is on it's way up to take you to the closest cafe´with the best lunch special and the foods you like. When you leave it will shut the lights off (lights set to your personal preference), track the time you are gone and forward any calls to your cell.
All automatic. All you do is walk out of the room.
And my imagination is slow today. The possibilities are endless.
Get excited! Or maybe scared?
