Imagine if your wallpaper was like a giant, touchscreen remote for your house: touch\u00c2\u00a0a flower here and, voila,\u00c2\u00a0your\u00c2\u00a0lamp is on; rub a petal there and, hark, the sweet sounds of your iPod begin to play.<\/a><\/p>\n As crazy as it sounds, The Living Wall <\/a>is just that.\u00c2\u00a0The “High-Low Tech Group” at MIT’s Media Lab, a group that\u00c2\u00a0aims to “democratize engineering<\/a>” by\u00c2\u00a0designing technologies with low-tech materials, created The Living Wall with only paper and magnetic\/conducive paints.<\/p>\n Not only is\u00c2\u00a0this\u00c2\u00a0the only interactive wallpaper we’ve ever seen (unless you count that tasty wallpaper in the Willy\u00c2\u00a0Wonka movie), it also happens to come in\u00c2\u00a0vivid colors and gorgeous patterns.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n This is one practical paper\u00c2\u00a0that comes with\u00c2\u00a0a serious “wow” factor.<\/p>\n
