SnOil: Magnetic Fluid Display by Martin Frey

Back



SnOil" (short for Snake + Oil) is a tactile display that uses Ferrofluid (magnetically reactive liquid) and an array of electromagnets to control 144 individual "bumps" and integrated motion sensors that allows for the game of "Snake" to be played when the user tilts the tactile display back and forth.
