Now your tongue can see. Clive Thomson suggests that this could be a good interface for video games too.

Optimus keyboard

Fri, 15 Jul 2005 12:00:00 +0000

The Optimus keyboard. Every key of the Optimus keyboard is a stand-alone display showing exactly what it is controlling at this very moment. See it – it’s a remarkable concept.

Jayant 16 Jul 2005 5:49 am: Not sure of commercial application esp to laptops whose sales are inc and PC dec. So, quite niche
S Anand 16 Jul 2005 8:16 am: Well, laptop keyboards could have this functionality too I guess.
Francis 16 Jul 2005 10:03 pm: i would want to focus on the screen as opposed to the keyboard.
S Anand 17 Jul 2005 11:10 am: True. But it helps teach shortcuts as well. It would help me with Photoshop and some games.

Where is Google X? It used to at labs.google.com/googlex, but there’s a 404 now. More at MetaFilter.

Microsoft Scope

Fri, 23 May 2003 12:00:00 +0000

Scope is an interesting new Microsoft technology. It lets you see your e-mail, tasks, calendar and alerts on a circular panel. The items are positioned by priority around the circle (centre is more important than periphery), and the shape of the item (circle, star, etc) determines whom it’s from (work, family, only to me or to other people also, etc.) See their demo to get a better idea on how it works.
