The platform was used to play Tetris and other games and present demos created by the students of Tampere University of Technology.”

The technique used in this project sounds intriguing. Each window acts as an individual pixel substituted by LED lights that are controlled by computers. A total of 99 pixels are available to display static and moving content in different colors.

The games and demos are controlled using a mobile phone and either a Bluetooth or WLAN connection. Below are some amazing videos that show students playing Tetris and a Space Invader clone. Some demo movies – they actually held a demo competition – are shown at the end as well.

Some displays look incredible cool. I personally would love to lay my hands on the Samsung 12mm thick LCD display, the Toshiba Interactive 3D Display, the Mutsubishi Diamond Touch (incredible) and the Touchless Touchscreen. I decided to only include my favorites from the ten future display technologies and suggest that you head out to the original website who posted the list to see the others.

I still hope that you enjoy this display of modern technology as much as I do. Which one would you want to have at home ?

  • Touchless Touchscreen

  • Toshiba Interactive 3D Display Technology

  • Mitsubishi Diamond Touch (showing Warcraft 3)
