Printoo, the flexible DIY Arduino-compatible kit!

Ynvisible, has brought a new piece of technology for people who loves to make electronic stuffs. DIY, 'do it yourself' as we all call it, helps us to think out of the box. Their new innovation is called Printoo.

Printoo is a Arduino-compatible platform of paper-thin circuit boards and modules. It gives makers an open-source, lightweight, flexible, and modular solution to create just about anything you want! Printoo's uniqueness is that it comes with a range of printed electronics modules which were previously unavailable to the public. These are electronics building "blocks" of the future which aren't rigid at all.
Printoo is said to be the first development board that is flexible and light enough to bring any of your 3D printed objects to life,no matter what shape it is. Powerful cores, modular components, free code, free apps are key benefits.

The comapny has built the apps you need to connect Printoo to the Internet. Hence by this you'll be able to remotely control your Printoo creations or use them to trigger or perform action on the Web ie. from your smartphone, tablet or laptop, from anywhere in the world!
The team behind Printoo has brought together printed electronics from different makers, including ultra-thin & soft batteries from Blue Spark and Enfucell, a photodetector module by Isorg, an LED strip by VTT, polymer solar cell from Mekoprint, along with its own Ynvisible electrochromic displays.

Using Printoo is really simple, you can use conductive ink to link your Printoo creations rather than bothering with soldering and wires.
Printoo is such a innovative project that it already passed its modest $20,000 funding target on Kickstarter with 25 days left to run on its campaign.
There are various stuffs you can do, few examples are given on their Kickstarter page as the Solar Howercraft, paper thin vote counter etc.

Video below can give you a detailed idea about how amazing this would be.
