Screens always play a silent role in spaces, but Misty Horizon aims to change that by enhancing the expressiveness of screens in an environment. Each louver will rotate, altering the amount of light passing through, sensing the surrounding movements, and responding accordingly. The screen will no longer be a silent object but one that has self-awareness.
