One of the ideas that was developed at MIT in a workshop was, imagine this pipe, and you’ve got valves, solenoid valves, taps, opening and closing. You create like a water curtain with pixels made of water. If those pixels fall, you can write on it: you can show patterns, images, text.
I know a lot of people love applications on their phone, but I’m like, ‘Yeah, I understand the nice experience, but there’s something about it that doesn’t flow well.’ Opening an app, closing it, moving to something else. There’s something about the open web that’s very free flowing.
