They just look like analog objects, like paper or books. But if you think about it, they're computational. They're magic. They're magical. And the point of computing is simply to animate things. Anima is like the word soul. It's to simply give a soul to analog objects to animate them. And that works.

trajectory of what reflective or paper-like displays are is a way to basically make matter movable that's what this is this is yes this is not a portal this is literally a piece of paper that is you know animating That whole trajectory is what we're trying to bring back in computing. I'm trying to make, you know, more mainstream.

And the way I got the way I came up with this is I found a really old Japanese technology that's been thrown away.

because you know at the time they were like oh it's not colorful if you don't have color it doesn't matter it's it had all of these flaws that kind of made it not viable and um in the 30 years since there's been just some crazy professors in the netherlands and germany especially in japan that have just sat there and whacked away at problem after problem after problem um you know there's a paper that comes out in 1997 solving one of the core problems of this technology

very lucky that finally enough of these problems have been solved um that if you were to put together all of these different technologies kind of what i was able to come up with suddenly this old japanese withered technology could be viable again and that's ultimately what i was able to pull together and create here with live paper is resurrecting an old japanese technology kind of now finally making it good enough

And our whole premise here is now you can make phones, laptops, monitors. You can make all of computing now interactive and dynamic, but they no longer need to be portals. They no longer have to have blue light. They no longer need to flicker. They no longer need to be addicting and distracting. They can just be a tool that you can use, kind of to your example of the games and the surgeons.
