This is
pretty cool: a new app that lets you manipulate
a cube onscreen by moving your hand in front of a webcam, ala the movie Minority Report. Quite simple still,
but exciting possibilities. I know I'd give up my laptop track pad in a minute for something like this.
Reminds me of a talk I heard on ITConversations a few months ago about the
huge difference between the keyboard/mouse interface and what the human mind and body are capable of doing in terms of
interface. (Wish I could remember which ITConversations episode that was, I gotta stop by the AttentionTrust site.) I still draw the line well before an implant, though.

1. LazyWeb response: perhaps this is the ITC session you were looking for [http://www.itconversations.com/shows/detail852.html].
Actually, if you log in to ITC (or rather, the Conversations Network) when you get your audio, it'll keep track of what you've listened to.
Not that the Attention Recorder's a bad idea, either.
