Designed by Silke Hilsing, Impress is a flexible display that consists of foam and force sensors. It works with the parameters position and time like other touch screens as well, but in addition to that, it reacts, above all, on the intensity of pressure.

The evolution of screens… never thought that was possible. I wonder if we can make a trampoline mat using this idea soon. Lose weight while you design. It will be pretty nerdy exercise.
