Made up of tiny robots called Catoms, this programmable matter can take any form in real time like a smart clay. This is just 1 of the critical elements necessary for the ideal home of the future. We suggest supporting and promoting this collaborative research project directed by Carnegie Mellon and Intel.
This would allow a phone to transform into a tablet or a human or a wall or anything as needed. It could provide the physical tactile elements to VR and transform our homes.
