MIT is one of the most prestigious institutions when we talk about technology and you can realize why at the moment you see this amazing table of living clay, the inFORM is a surface that three-dimensionally changes shape, allowing users to not only interact with digital content in meatspace, but even hold hands with a person hundreds of miles away.

inFORM was created by Daniel Leithinger and Sean Follmer and overseen by Professor Hiroshi Ishii from the Tangible Media Group.
