NETWORKED MATTER is a rather extraordinary concept. Beware the Lunatic Fringe, but it merits serious consideration. The Internet of Things (IoT) will be the barn door opener, connecting devices to anticipate our needs. Such as the house warming up when the car GPS shows the owner approaching. But isn't that just the most basic start? Device to device communication that includes powerful computers could really have legs. View in LinkedIn

THE AGE OF NETWORKED MATTER. "As part of Institute for the Future's research project on what we're calling "The Coming Age of Networked Matter," we've looked at progress around programmable materials that can morph and self-assemble. MIT professor and TED fellow Skylar Tibbits is pushing on this idea with what he dubbed "4D printing, where the fourth dimension is time," meaning that the printed objects change shape over a certain period.""

BRILLIANT CLAYTRONICS FUTURE includes morphing materials and a virtual reality communications capability: image talking on the phone to a recreated image of your friend with touchability included. (Were you listening?). Or, morphing your phone into a computer and back to a phone again. Mind-bending stuff.

PSRIO PARTNER. "For example...in telepresense to mimic, with high-fidelity and in 3-dimensional solid form, the look, feel, and motion of the person at the other end of the telephone call. To achieve this long-range vision we are investigating hardware mechanisms for constructing submillimeter robots. We also propose the creation of a new media type, which we call pario. The idea behind pario is to render arbitrary moving, physical 3-dimensional objects that you can see, touch, and even hold in your hands." http://www.aaai.org/ojs/index.php/aimagazine/article/view/2241 View in LinkedIn

SWARM BOTS CREATE PHONE PARTNER. "Claytronics, a form of programmable matter made out of very large numbers-potentially millions-of submillimeter sized spherical robots. The goal of the claytronics project is to create ensembles of cooperating submillimeter robots, which work together to form dynamic 3D physical objects. For example, claytronics might be used in telepresense to mimic, with high-fidelity and in 3-dimensional solid form, the look, feel, and motion of the person at the other end of the telephone call.""

PARIO WILL CHANGE COMMUNICATION. "Claytronics will offer a more realistic sense to communication over long distance called pario. Similar to how audio and video provide aural and visual stimulation, pario provides an aural, visual and physical sensation. A user will be able to hear, see and touch the one communicating with them in a realistic manner. Pario could be used effectively in many professional disciplines from engineering design, education and healthcare to entertainment and leisure activities such as video games.""

SYNTHETIC RENDERING IN TELECOM: see hear and touch..."Called "claytronics" at Carnegie-Mellon University, and "dynamic physical rendering" at Intel (which is supporting the CMU work), the synthetic reality project has already made some tentative advances, and the researchers are confident of eventual success. Just how long "eventual" may be is subject to debate."" " http://lnkd.in/d4ms4ga View in LinkedIn

"CLAYTONICS is an emerging field of engineering concerning reconfigurable nanoscale robots ('claytronic atoms', or catoms) designed to form much larger scale machines or mechanisms. The catoms will be sub-millimeter computers that will eventually have the ability to move around, communicate with other computers, change color, and electrostatically connect to other catoms to form different shapes.""

"CLAYTONICS is an abstract future concept that combines nanoscale robotics and computer science to create individual nanometer-scale computers called claytronic atoms, or catoms, which can interact with each other to form tangible 3-D objects that a user can interact with. This idea is more broadly referred to as programmable matter."" " http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claytronics View in LinkedIn
