Shape-shifting, colour-changing, light-up-at-night environments

Light emitting wallpaper

“With Jonas Samson’s high-tech light-emitting wallpaper it’s possible to use a two-dimentional flat surface as light source instead of a 3D object. As long as the wallpaper is turned ‘off’, it is indistinguishable as a source of light. Instead, it is just what it appears to be: wallpaper.”

Not sure how long it would take to get fed up with it – but there may be uses other than decoration.

There are quite a lot of colour-shifting things here – everything from cars to coffee-cups. This includes a service for permanently changing your eye-colour with implants, which seems like an amazingly bad idea to me, but there you go.

There’s no way this isn’t going to be used for pornography. In New Zealand in the 70s there was a bit of a furore because someone started selling “Wack-Packs” – which was basically an inflatable water-wing and a tub of vaseline. This shower thing may be art etc… but it does look a hell of a lot like a full-body Wack-Pack

I mean if there’s an entire genre of pornography devoted entirely to delivering Pizzas with… holes in them, then someone’s definitely going to dream up something slightly dodgy to do with this.

What me Officer? I was just… on my way home. Why?
