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. Thanks Cory! Plus the additional info is good to know. Conversation Network is great. I recently did an interview with Doug Kaye about that and other things at http://netsquared.org/doug
