Is this a working concept or just real paper or plastic with stuff printed on it?

 

[dkcrogue]

checked out the link and it appears to be just a concept, not working.

Click the Video link. It has more info + a video about the concept.

Well, that's all very well and good, but a concept isn't a lot of use to anyone. With that aside, I'm astounded that somebody actually felt the need to conceptualize what is essentially folding paper.

Expanded a bit, this concept would make an awesome dungeon master's screen.

It looks like it stands up properly without just flopping over. Regular paper doesn't do that, nor is it interactive, nor does it change on it's own.

Yeah, this is the stupidest "concept" I've seen an article on yet. This idea has been around for YEARS (literally), what's new about this one?

Stop these dumb concept stories, stick to things that actually exist or will soon exist. There's a concept you should try out.

Concept, its not working.. you can see the whole page move around different as the backing paper moves. as if the image was put on top of the paper,(watch the top right, the paper as it moves and the image should stay still but it doesnt) plus around his fingers gives off the green screen blur..

Or you could just use a computer/smartphone.

You're missing my point. E-paper has been around (in concept form or otherwise) for years now. Adding folds to the idea hardly seems innovative or groundbreaking.

Anyone else notice the dimensions listed as 12' by 22'? It's the Spinal Tap Stonehenge fiasco all over again!

More breaking concept news. Wake me when something is actually built >_>

This would be a good idea for failing news paper companies. Imagine you have that sheet at home and just pay the typical newspaper rate for which you recieve updates via wifi each day. It would be like the newspaper you never have to throw away because it's always current.

Don't know how far it get but at least it is an interesting idea.

this stuff has been in the works for many a years. Here is a video found on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcAm3KihFho

They just have to find a better material, or way to make the plastic from stretching.
