    The Moving Games Display

    No, you're not having a flashback. That's computer graphics artist and University of Tokyo professor Yoichiro Kawaguchi feeling up "Gemotion," a display he created. It's a screen that buldges and pops out in sync with the displayed graphics. How does it work? There are 72 air cylinders behind that 39 by 24 inch flexible display that are linked to a projector. The push and pull of the cylinders correspond to onscreen action. According to Kawaguchi:

    If used with games, TV or cinema, the screen could give images an element of power never seen before. It could lead to completely new forms of media.

    You know, TV and movies can have it. Games work just fine on my plasma television.
