I saw this on Nathan’s blog . Impressive, clever and brain straining stuff. Wonderful work also from TED on continuing to provide a great platform for exceptional talent.
Siftables are cookie-sized computers with motion sensing, neighbor detection, graphical display, and wireless communication act in concert to form a single interface: users physically manipulate them - piling, grouping, sorting - to interact with digital information and media. Siftables provides a new platform on which to implement tangible, visual and mobile applications.
Check them out here http://siftables.com/ and here http://web.media.mit.edu/~dmerrill/siftables.html . Impressive stuff.
