I don't know that Apple will be doing this soon, but I bet they're trying to figure out how to utilize this.

Uh.... An input device like that would come in really handy for me if what I did on my computer consisted of moving multi-colored lights around in artistic patterns.

I think that we do need to replace the QWERTY keyboard with a more efficient input device though. The mouse works great.

Pretty cool, I could put it to use right away if it was as controllable as a Wacom right out of the box. seems like that's already in the makes. Im so used to working on a tablet and that thing is barking right up my Wacom's buns. Reality...how much will this system, engineered for a variety of art types, cost? Im not expecting an answer, just realizing that I probably won't be buying one anytime soon, the tablet keeps me happy and I'm spending my loose change on candy..

I first saw this in Minority Report .

I wish he'd done more practical demos. He talked about data manipulation but played with colored balls and squiggles.






I am that Masked Man.

All you can do, is all you can do.

There’s trouble — it's time to play the sound of my people.

Your boos mean nothing to me, I've seen what you cheer for.

Insisting on your rights without acknowledging your responsibilities isn’t freedom, it’s adolescence.

I've been to the edge of the map, and there be monsters.

We are a government of laws, not men.

Everybody counts or nobody counts.

When a good man is hurt,
all who would be called good
must suffer with him.

You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead.

There is no safety for honest men except
by believing all possible evil of evil men.

We don’t do focus groups. They just ensure that you don’t offend anyone, and produce bland inoffensive products. —Sir Jonathan Ive

An armed society is a polite society.
And hope is a lousy defense.

You make me pull, I'll put you down.

I *love* SIGs. It's Glocks I hate.

Do you remember someone posting a presentation about world economies vs. health standards and the awesome presentation video that went with it? That was from the same conference as this. TED. Check out their website and peruse the videos. Good stuff comes out of there.

Imagine this combined with a multi touch presentation where the data is largely dynamic.
