About Pano Logic

Pano is a tiny two-inch high server-based corporate computer. It has no software, memory, or moving parts, and compared to a PC it consumes 3% of the energy, uses 4% of the material to make it, and is one hundred times smaller. Pano's austere boxy form, tiny size, and ever-changing reflective surfaces gives Pano a futuristic quality. "Pano is both sex and art - all 9 cubic inches of it," said Wired Magazine.
