Device That Prints on Water
This bulky, awkward looking device is in fact a very complicated machine that exists solely for the purpose of drawing text and pictures on the surface of water using waves. The Advanced Multiple Organized Experimental Basin, or AMOEBA, is about the size of a kiddie pool and can generate one character on the water every 3 seconds.
“Akishima Laboratories expects the technology to be incorporated into amusement devices that combine acoustics, lighting and fountain technology, which they hope to see installed at theme parks and hotels.”
Until I found the above quote I couldn’t tell if this was going to be cool and awesome, or cool and useless. I’m glad that classification has already been determined.
