Sense of Play

Every so often something catches my eye that makes me gasp slightly. It doesn't happen very often, we're all so jaded these days - the newest, best, coolest thing holds my attention for little more than a few seconds. There's something about this particular new thing ('new' in a bit of a stretch of the word, the research for this has being going on for quite a while). Microsoft has produced a version of this, but this video shows research by New York University. It's basically a surface that you can interact with - it uses the movements of the human hand upon it's display surface as opposed to the seperate method of the monitor and the mouse. An advanced touch screen application if you will. I won't describe it too much, because...well...the clip says it all!



I thought it was pretty darn cool.
