the future, in slurps and squirts

July 6th, 2010 • posts i've written

Watch the video above to see an amazing interface, a digital eyedropper of sorts, for file sharing by Jamie Zigelbaum, a former student at the MIT Media Lab. Slurp, that’s what it’s called, is actually more than a year old. I love its playfulness and I’m also intrigued by how it abstracts the digital bits from whatever UX or device it originates from. That seems important … to be able to pull data out of a context and easily inject it into another.

And most of all, things like this suggest that the future of interfaces isn’t relegated entirely to carpal semaphore.
