SprayableTech is so flexible in its application lets you turn on your lights or change the TV channel with a touch

"Since SprayableTech is so flexible in its application, you can imagine using this type of system beyond walls and surfaces to power larger-scale entities like interactive smart cities and interactive architecture in public places. We view this as a tool that will allow humans to interact with and use their environment in newfound ways.”"

For example, if you have a brown couch and want to use the couch itself as a remote for a television, you’d spray the conductive ink in a transparent color to embed it with connected sensors. A microcontroller is then attached to the interface and to the board that runs the code for sensing the visual output.

This way you can swipe your hand over the arm of the couch to change the channel, turn up the volume, or do whatever you’d like.
