Eventually, scientists would like prosthetic hands to provide information about an object's surface directly to the user, so he or she can consciously feel what the hand touches, Loeb said.

Ultimately, the logical conclusion of wireless graffiti systems would be the ability to attach information to any object or place on earth with an accuracy of a metre or less.
The object information is then processed and passed on to the Continental Motion Domain Controller to control the vehicle's longitudinal and lateral motion via signals to the engine, the brakes and the steering system.

The data will be pored over by scientists for years, but it was immediately clear from the information at hand that the object had experienced significant change since the Deep Impact observations.
This seminar enabled participants to better understand all stages from conception to completion of exhibitions, whether temporary or permanent, thinking of exhibitions as a whole where each component (time, space, object, support, information, text, still and moving images, sound composition) participates in the project designed and completed.
Indoor tracking systems which process data from one or more sources of location information to estimate where a person or object is located are not new.

"There's just so much more potential when searching a cell phone or an e-mail archive, to uncover information that has no relevance to the object of the search, but yet could reveal many private and personal matters, " Silverstein says.
With touchscreen interfaces, though, designers can create the illusion of acting on information and content directly, manipulating it like a physical object that you can touch and stretch and drag and nudge.
