Ferrofluid Display
A true liquid display using the science of ferrofluid (micro magnetic particles suspended in a soap like agent) to play a simple game of SNAKE.
The display was created as a student project entitled SNOIL. The developers not only demonstrate snake, but also time keeping, and simple text animations. The display apparently has gyroscopes in it or something to read the slight angle pitches created by the player to direct where the ferrofluid should react.
Ferrofluids are normally used in industrial applications so it's damn cool to see it used like this.
