Nooclay
Imagine a new smart software material that reacts to the actions and expectations of the shaper. A sort of software live clay.
Imagine a software material so advanced and yet so simple to interface with. Not just a few intents, but the evolving semantic universe of human knowledge.
Imagine a semantically rich material that changes shape in your hands, following your hints, your nudges, and at the same time offering the forms of the culture it has been tuned to.
Imagine Nooclay.
A sort of nooclay is already possible. A software material with a cultural bias that is opinionated and makes assumptions, yet allows you to bend it to new shapes.. even if it give its best, it is really smooth when following that specific bias, the stylistic school it has been tuned to.
