siftables, making the digital physical

Claudio posted an interesting video on his blog about siftables, and I like it so much I want to share this cool stuff too.

Siftables are cookie-sized computers with motion sensing, neighbor detection, graphical display, and wireless communication. They act in concert to form a single interface: users physically manipulate them - piling, grouping, sorting - to interact with digital information and media. Siftables provides a new platform on which to implement tangible, visual and mobile applications (source: siftables website).

To really grasp what it’s all about, just check the video below. It a TED talk by David Merrill: Siftables, the toy blocks that think.
