colorchangingconcrete.jpgthe idea of color changing concrete that can be used for information display was originally posted a while ago, but now seems to have finally reached the prototype phase. the system is able to dynamically display patterns, numbers & text in concrete surfaces. potential application range from simple products for the home to large-scale architectural installations.

actually there is also TRANSPARENT concrete, which - with some added lights - may do the same even better.
