Are we seeing the future of human computer interaction? Could we see this desktop replacement reviving the slowly dying tablet computer market? The brilliant mind of university student Anand Agarwala has created the prototype for BumpTop, a fully-featured, physics-enabled desktop replacement, which enables the user to ‘push’ around their documents using expressive and lightweight techniques found in the real world. While I could only try and explain how it works, I encourage you (all) to watch the video and be amazed (hopefully). As one of our resident nerds says, “revolutionary”, we agree.
