In most cases, a scenario like that would probably mean that you'd
accidentally stumbled into the pages of a horror film. In the minds of
designers Grigory Malitskiy and Maria Malitskaya, however, it's just one
of the nearly
infinite possibilities that their Space Generator concept can create. The piston-powered floor
of the concept allows for almost any shape to rise up from beneath your
feet. Dirt bike tracks, undulating hills, and even furniture can
materialize at press of a button.
The space will have to be
pre-programmed, but after that, the world (or room at least) is your
oyster. A number of the pillars that make up the floor could also have
tech embedded in their faces, allowing you to create not only complex
shapes, but modular electronics as well. It's not quite a
Holodeck,
but since we've yet to master the physics of hard light holography, the
Space Generator is likely one of the most interactive physical spaces
we're going to see for quite a while.
