Reality from Sci-Fi: "Take an idea or concept from scifi and make it tangible"

Sci-fi is full of unrealised dreams - which ones can you take and turn into tangible realities today? Think about not only gadgets but also the concepts behind them. How can they be used to bring digital data out of the screen and into people's hands? What retro and hands-on ideas from the golden age of sci-fi can be updated with today's digital technology? We invited 7 young researchers to display their works at TEI, these portray some of Sci-Fi long-standing fictions as actual hands-on demonstrations.
