The next step in typography has officially been taken, well.. not so much, but it is interesting technology nonetheless. Akishima laboratories has teamed up with Osaka University to create a device that generates text on water using waves in a tank the size of a kiddie pool. Of course it’s limited to single characters at this point, but it wouldn’t be a stretch to see this technology spelling out Bellagio at the base of a fountain in the near future.
