If you thought Knight Rider's molecular shape shifting body was science fiction well, researchers at the Human Media Laboratory at Queen's University in Canada are developing what are called "non-planar" devices. These devices have the capability to change shape while using three-dimensional and touch-driven interfaces. These are computers that can download (and turn into) new hardware, foldable paper computers, and interactive / disposable product designs. The implementation of such technology is rather crudely integrated into soda cans that download your favorite videos or other promotional content, the user interface is a smart fabric based around two-handed, multi-finger touch sensing.

The reason for putting such advanced technology into something as disposable as a soda can fails my understanding but if advertisers see a profit in them, well someday we may able to watch a movie on a soda can by flattening it after the drinks done with.
