OLED ID Card
Samsung has an Organic LED powered Passport program. A prototype video of a project which may have come out of is available. This is interesting because it presents deformable user interfaces which may be available in the future. Deformable surfaces are what we've been working with in the lab lately. There's a lot of potential and it'll be fun to see what if any of the research we do works its way into these projects.
The editorial on the last page linked to also brings to light an interesting point. Often the kinds of things we're working on really do look like they've come right out of movies such as Harry Potter and Minority Report. I'm pleased about this because it makes it really easy to explain what it is I'm working on to people.
