David Merril: Siftables


David Merril is a grad student in the fluid interfaces group at Mit's media lab. He work on new technologies that give us more and better abilities to do things we want to do. His main interest now is the siftables project. A siftables is an interactive computer the size of a cookie they're to be moved around by hand, they can sense eche other, they can sense their motion and they have a screen and wireless radio, they are phisycal like the blocks you can move them just by reaching out and grasping and the are an example of a new ecosystem of tools for manipulating digital information

With this we can start to explore some new and fun interaction styles.

The siftables is configured to show video

An example is a music sequencing and live perfomance tool in wich siftables act as sounds like lead, bass and drums

This is a better match to the way our brains and bodies work
