http://siftables.com/. A new break thorugh in technology. Technology that you can work with your hands and you guessed it MIT Media Lab were the ones who came out with this new technology. David Merrill and Jeevan Kalanithi at the MIT Media Lab actually. These siftables are little wireless monitors that can detect each other. This little screens are pretty high tech for how small they are. Each of these cubes is equipped with an accelerometer,hard drive,wifi and of course the monitor. The point of the siftables is instead of clicking and typing with a keyboard you just lift turn tilt and lift each siftable. for example with the siftable sound board tool (shown in the video below) you have the two lead siftables and the other siftables are programed to be be bass treble guitar drums and more and to add each you just put it close to the lead siftables to add the effect. You can use other siftables to control the bass treble volume...etc. This is used for much more then just a DJ tool it can be used for reading making open ended stories and the possibilities are endless. I find that the siftables were pretty cool but i found them useless for todays technology since you can do any of that on your computer with just a click of a mouse. In the video below they make it pretty obvious that this was just the beginning to a whole new level of technology and they leave the world wondering what they are going to make next.
