Matter just became programmable
Providing smart atoms to empower professionals building multi-purpose tools and tangible interfaces anytime, anywhere.
THREE FIELDS OF APPLICATION
Tangible and modular environnements
Programmable Matter is composed of micro-robots, millimeter-sized moving computers that will have the ability to move around each other, communicate, change color, and latch to other micro-robots to form different shapes.
🔧 Multi-purpose items
Space and weight saving tools for astronauts
💻 CAD synchronized design
Virtual / Real time feedback for automotive designers
🎮 Flexible and tangible interfaces
