TED: Shape-shifting tech will change work as we know it | Sean Follmer

The video explores the evolution of tools and the need for new interfaces that leverage human dexterity. It introduces inFORM, a dynamic shape display developed at MIT and Stanford, which allows physical interaction with digital information. Applications in urban planning and remote collaboration are discussed, along with the construction process of inFORM. The video also covers innovations in mobile devices using inFORM technology and envisions a future with smart environments that adapt to human needs.
