Fostering Bioinnovations : From material ideas towards real-life applications

As our digital world expands, do physical interfaces always have to be rigid, made of precious metals, and everlasting? What if we could design stimulating, non-toxic, and more sustainable alternatives? We could create flexible, textured, and biodegradable interfaces that turn back into soil once they're no longer needed.

In this exhibit, you can explore these possibilities with the researcher and interact with a woven bio-based keyboard designed to disassemble and biodegrade. Experience how wood cellulose, soft conductive materials and natural colorants look and feel, and imagine how different our future interfaces could be.
