http://www.osnews.com/story/18922/New_Computer_Interface_Blow_on_the_Screen Exploring the Future of Computing en-us Copyright 2001-2009, David Adams adam+nospam@osnews.com Thu, 09 Jul 2009 23:33:21 GMT http://www.osnews.com/images/osnews.gif http://www.osnews.com http://osnews.com/thread?284480 http://osnews.com/thread?284480 Interesting to see this kind of interface, opens opportunities for its playful nature of interaction between people and computers.

Is this actually working? or is it a mock up? Reminds me of similar work by a colleague of mine (sorry for the plug) http://www.design-interactions.rca.ac.uk/people/alumni/04-06/eriko-...
You blow on the pipe, and all the icons float around to let you clear your desktop.

First Al Gore invented the internet, and now Bill Clinton has inspired a whole new computing experience!

Try blowing rapidly for a minute. You won't be able to.

Some don't have or can't move arms so, yes, it is something with a lot of potential.
