Talking digital paper
I found a story on the BBC today about a new kind of digital paper that emits recorded sound in response to a person's touch.
"The team envisages that the technology could be used by advertisers, and in the future, it might even be employed for product packaging.
Mikael Gulliksson, who led the research project, told the BBC News website: "When you approach the billboard and put your hand on a postcard that shows a picture of a beach, you can hear a very brief description of that beach."
"One interesting idea would be to use it on cigarette packaging, so instead of having a written message warning you of danger to your health, you would have a spoken one."
there's a technical description of how it actually works in the article, but I find the idea itself very interesting. Interactive, and a nice mix of the old with the new, after all paper is pretty retro these days.

One of my favourite bands, one of my favourite songs, one of my new favourite short film animations. Enjoy.
