I want one of these!!



A few months ago I saw a different internet video on a new style of computer interface similar to this, where folders and files could be manupulated as though they were sitting on your desk in stacks, or randomly scattered around your desk in a way similar to the way mine looks now. While I thought that it was pretty ingenious, and it was touted to be easier for everyone to remember where they put their files, I did wonder why my virtual office all of a sudden had to become as cluttered as my real life one.
This video, however, shows a pretty fantastic device, that if nothing else would be a hell of a lot of fun to play with.
These days people are getting less and less excited about the release of products, that while being significantly faster, and having a few extra functions, are basically a repeat of the same old same old tried and true product line.
From the initial excitement over the upcoming release of the new Nintendo Wii with an all new way of interacting with a machine, the Wiimote, it is quite apparant what people are really looking for, change. Change in the fundamental way in which we communicate and interact with technology.
Anyway, starting to ramble, check out the video.
