While the technology behinds its interactive paper creations seems quite complex, the brand designed the Printed Touch Creator Kit to show how simple making [interactive 2D systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interactivity-studio) can be. The kit involves [paper-thin stickers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/your-travel-stickers) that have been pre-printed with conductive ink, which can be used to turn any surface into something that comes to life with sounds, graphics or actions.
