ePaper implementation ideas.

Large, canvas sized pieces that can disply realistic, high def images (in full colour).

A new way of enjoying art. You listen to an internet broadcast file (the art version of a podcast) which is a series, a gallery, if you will, compile repleat with music to go alongside. Possible limitations are with the depictions of texture that would not come through on the ePaper (at close inspection). Can't you see them in art galleries, and in shop windows? So grand, elegant, impressive. People would think it's a hanging until it moved.
A new form of painting could evolve where the image changes slightly, and then back again, so that the trees sway in the breeze, or the stars sparkle.
Marketed not only a general purpose information display, branded as ∫ integration, but with the art displaying software and subscription devices available. Show stats on the spread of art around the world...

Could be the centre computer in any household. All other PCs draw their computing power from this machine? Everyone in the family has their own termnial but uses the same power?
An old an outmoded idea. What if Timmy and Sally decide to update their photo libraries both at once? Not when processing power is relatively cheap...

New Technologies Research Analysist

I would like to do technology marketing. Gadgets! nihonde?

But still very good nonetheless.
Could also be used as a general information display. Newssheets, for example. It's basically limitless.

Smaller ePaper devices in a newton / Librie / clié / Sigma book cross. Extremely light weight, durable, thus portable, and useful. Greyscale would almost be sufficient if that was all that was available. I have already written about this.

I bet Antonio Vivaldi never thought that one day his entire Four Seasons compilation would fit inside a small white box. (In fact it fits into a space even smaller than that).

I would like a place in Toyko. Imagine if I were getting about all time time, flying here, flying there. I know, it's the kind of jet setter job eveyone thinks they would like to do, but hell, it's a great way to see the world. So in theory if that's the thing that I want to do, then I have to think on a global level. Doing so will engage me with it.
Thus the importance behind involving the whole world with whatever software I intend to make. Have it localised into many different languages. Developing it as a product that is kind of a receptacle for everyone's words, whatever they are, on everyone's Mac. Now that's the philosophy I should be designing for.
While in reality not eveyone is going to want to use it, they should be able to relate, be able to know why it might be useful.
