New Media Exploration

As we continue to advance in technology at the rate we are at, it is only up to the imagination where we will take new forms of medium. For now we have the internet, television, movies, video games, and analog mediums such as the classic pen on paper or paints. But as we continue to progress, it seems that the boundaries between the two will no longer exist.

For example CrystalRender will take any 3D model that you have created and place it within a crystal so that you may display as your very own personal accessory. What they do is convert the polygons of the model into a collection of points that match up with the geometry surface, and then they shoot tiny lasers into the crystal which causes the structure to heat up and crack. These small cracks when collected together will form a dusty looking cloud that represents what your original polygon model looks like in perfect detail.

Another sort of medium is within the futuristic realm. A Brain-Computer Interface, at some point we will be able to directly link our brains with computers using a sort of data-jack or other port system, our brains and the machine will be able to speak a common language and with that we may be able to not only create within a new perspective but be able to experience new or familiar forms of media in a whole new way.
