A New Learning Tool: siftables
This MIT student is working on new human to computer interfaces. It is a great presentation.
I think that the impact of how people interact with this type of technology is so interesting. I wonder if you could add the same kind of interactivity between consenting iphones or other devices such as your television. Pour your playlist from your iphone into your friends? Or the photos from your camera into your laptop. That would be cool.
From a learning perspective, it is interesting to consider a learning activity that allowed you to build fluency, like the ones in the examples, but also a lot of other learning applications. You could most likely create a lot of simulations where the block represents an real world object or condition and displays a color graphic or plays a sound based on many different factors of proximity.
Cool stuff.
