Promptac

The physical and virtual worlds will once merge. It is not about glasses only, as we have 5 senses...ok some of us maybe 6 😜. These experiments like Zhaodi Feng did with interacting between person and virtual world through sensors can be a step towards the idea.

The project is called Promptac and uses these sensors:
• Thimble-shaped sensor: Works like Photoshop’s eyedropper tool. Tap a finger over a color or material, and it will apply it to an AI-generated model.
• RFID (radio frequency ID) sensor: Picks up textures such as tree bark.
• Color sensor: Detects colors such as the vibrant green of a desk plant.
• Bending tool: Looks like a rainbow-shaped salmon nigiri and can bend up to 180 degrees.
• Press tool: Resembles a round almond cookie and can register different kinds of pressure.
