    An interactive surface, the system visualizes the electromagnetic field emitted by a phone through light. Using a mobile phone near this surface activates little lights, tiny and thousands of which light up for a visualization display when a call is in progress. A phone’s presence can be literally seen with the Cell Phone Disco.
