Illumipaper: paper that can selectively illuminate to provide interactivity

I was excited this could be an alternative to Dynamicland with similar goals. However, after watching the video, I’m less sure. It seems unclear whether this would encourage collaboration and authorship in the same way, due to it’s constraint of being plugged into the controller module. Would a table-wide wireless controller

When the tablet stops working, it becomes a black mirror. When Dynamicland stops working, you still have a bunch of pieces of paper and craft tools. I think this example was used to demonstrate how much the computing environment depended on accessible materials.

If you had a giant illumi-paper environment and the controllers stopped working, I guess you still have all these papers lying around? But the dependence on the Android app concerns me…
