TRANSWALL : THE NEW GENERATION TECHNOLOGY

                           

                             Can glass walls be made more interactive and fun..?? The answer is YES!! This is made possible by a new technology namely, TRANSWALL. Transwall is a two-sided, touchable, transparent display technology. This concept is developed by Woohun Lee and his research team, at KAIST. This prototype has been launched even on a 65” inch screen.  The hardware consists of 2 projectors, 2 plexiglass sheets, holographic screen film, 2 IR touch sensor frames, surface transducer, 2 microphones. Featuring an incorporate surface transducer, Transwall provides audio and vibrotactile feedback to users, enabling people to see, hear, or even touch other people through the wall while enjoying gaming and interpersonal communication.

                              

                              Imagine a glass surface where we can freely draw, flip and spell, play games, play music, sense the vibrations and communicate with another person who is on the other side of the glass screen. Isn’t it amazing?? Transwall makes this concept come true. Transwall is designed to be installed inside buildings such as shopping centers, museums, and theme parks for people to have an opportunity to collaborate even with strangers in a natural way.  In this way, the simple and silent glass surfaces can be transformed into an active space for creativity, as well as a gaming spot. This is definitely an amazing and promising field and further researches are going on to improve the already developed ideas. Undoubtedly, Transwall gives us an extraordinary social interaction experience.
