Your Future 3D CAD Interface May be Soft, Cozy Memory Foam

No more slamming your face against the hard surface of your monitor in hopes of gaining the pity of your coworkers. The soft foam that sends you off to dreams of work the next day is potentially a future interface to create 3D models on.

DIS.PLAY allows you to manipulate projects objects via touch-sensitive force sensors embedded between two pieces of foam.Why foam? Because it’s the dawning of a new age where we won’t need those hard, static 2-dimensional displays of course. ‘iFoam’ 2, anyone?
