The latest number of Computer (IEEE Computer Society) has a news brief about Autonomous Wallpaper. The system allows users to send pictures (e.g. taken with their camera phone) to their living room wall. The system then calculates a unique "agent" from each picture, which is represented in the form of a flower with several branches. The colors of the flower are based on the original picture. Several flowers can affect each others growing behavior and cross-pollinate. The user can physically position each flower on the wall due to a modified positioning system. An ultrasonic sender and receiver calculate the position, send this to the computer that calculates the flowers, and a projector is used to display the flower on the wall.Read the news brief in Computer, IEEE Computer Society, nov 2007, (Vol 40, No. 11)
