Coming Soon to The Land...
Plant Molestation! Disney has made a new software/hardware system that turns plants (real or artificial) into physical feedback devices.

Kind of douchey though that Disney wants you to pet a cactus...

Interesting, but I'm pretty sure most plants prefer not to be touched!

The part where they're touching the plant and it's making music just made my day. Plant bands. We need plant bands.

Re: Coming Soon to The Land...
Ok I just took time to watch the video (most of it anyway) and while it's really cool, Amy's thought was exactly my own. How would those plants respond to people touching them all the time? It would almost have to be something super hardy, like a grass, or sturdy, like a woody stemmed plant (tree or shrub). I don't think even rose bushes, with their thorns, would thrive with people grabbing ahold of their stems, leaves, and flowers all the time.Amy wrote:Interesting, but I'm pretty sure most plants prefer not to be touched!

Re: Coming Soon to The Land...
Am I missing something here? So many plants, once we humans start handling them, quickly develop brown areas where touched and die. That's what I got out of that vid. Sheesh, are we that desperate for our own amusement that something as delicate as an orchid should now be our plaything. Bleh, I hope none of my hard-earned tax dollars went into this research.

Maybe we can have the test audience try it out on some Toxicodendron radicans or Toxicodendron diversilobum?Wizzard419 wrote:They also work with silk plants as well.

Re: Coming Soon to The Land...
Or the ever popular Urtica dioica. And yeah, silk plants? Sure, good way to keep the dust off I guess. It sort of makes me tilt my head to think of some future generation, not only interacting with other humans only thru texting, but their sense of plant-life will be in the waiting for the flower to respond on a monitor. Because you know what comes next, soylent green is people!
