Recompose Is The Keyboard You Don’t Necessarily Have To Touch

Recompose, the latest piece of technological innovation to come out of MIT’s Media Labs, is in many ways unclassifiable. It’s a user interface whose design part gesture-based, part touch-based and entirely ambiguous in its purpose. Still though, it’s intriguing.

Each tile in the array is powered by an actuator. You can interact with the tiles directly, or you can wave your hands around, not unlike a puppeteer, and the tiles will rise and fall appropriately.
