HybridPointing
Though it may be a while before these kinds of large screens become common, there are some interesting UI behaviours in this video. I kind of like the floating mode switch tool, that tries to be close at hand, yet stay out of the way. Imagine this behaviour for the floating toolbar in Photoshop. Would it be sweet or would it drive you insane? Only one way to find out.

Improved Hard-Drive Speakers
I'm building a big ass table, just for fun and research. When pondering about tactile feedback for the table Johan Larsby suggested a harddrive. It kind of makes sense since the arm is constructed for very precise control. This video proves that it can be done. How it would feel is another matter.

Interactive Visualization of Genealogical Graphs
I'm about to try to design a UI-flow editor. It will require some heavy duty graph visualizations, and maybe I'll borrow some ideas from this video. Just watching it makes me feel dizzy and ignorant. I suspect there's a whole field of research that I have yet to explore. This video is from a conference called InfoVis and it's from 2005. I sure would appreciate any comments on where I can find more cool connection-graph-stuff.

TiltText from Iota Wireless
This looks great. I'm sure there are lots of other applications for this kind of tilt behaviour.

Controlling, Manipulating and Annotating Digital Video
Check out the crazy twist lens in this clip. Very unexpected. (You might have to click on this video to get an enlarged view. The details are kind of small.)

Zliding: Fluid zooming and sliding for high precision parameter manipulation
I like the pressure activated zooming for the eyedropper in the end. Eye dropping thin lines can be a pain.

Pointing Lenses
Here's a novel way of displaying pressure. I also like the elasticly following lens. It looks smooth.

Under the table interaction
Coming from a 3D-art background myself, I really apprechiate the 3D-paint application. This is a task that normally requires constant mode-switching.

Samsung Haptic phone Touchwiz User Interface
I think this is the samsung Haptic phone SCH-W420 / SPH-W4200. Someone wrote that it uses a vocabulary of 22 different vibrations to simulate actual feels and actions. This may be a huge leap from previous phones. I know the Sony Ericsson phones essentially have two vibration symbols. One short, that encourages the user to look at the display at his/her leisure, and one longer and repeating, urging the user to immediately interact with the phone.

Tracking Menus (Alias, 2003)
This is an old demo, but I'm trying to gather all kinds of interesting UI-behaviour on this blog and I haven't seen this behaviour anywhere else. It's certainly new to me.

I think this is really elegant. It is the ebodiment of what the guys at Amazon wanted to build but just couldn't imagine. From Nicholas Chen at the University of Maryland.

The Effect of Interaction Technique on Coordination in Tabletop Groupware
This is from a paper by Miguel A. Nacenta, and it's about different interaction techniques for large surfaces. I really like the Pantograph version, where you got a line that extends out onto the surface.

Lean and Zoom: Proximity-Aware User Interface and Content Magnification
The Lean and Zoom system detects a user’s proximity to the display using a camera and magnifies the on-screen content proportionally. This alleviates dramatic and uncomfortable leaning and makes items more readable.

Speech Dasher
As you may know, I'm a big fan of Dasher. In this incarnation, Keith Vertanen has fused a speech recognizer with Dasher, in the hope to speed up input, and lessen the agony of correcting misinterpretations. Interesting.

The Worlds Biggest Scrollbar
This wallmounted screen essentially works as a gigantic scrollbar handle. It's great when you have vast amounts of screen real-estate. I think it's a lovely way to use the surface around the screen for interaction. Maybe you could do something similar with a mobile phone...

Network your devices by bumping them together
This video takes the bump-connect a little step forward. I really like the proposal to tilt one device to pour its contents to another device, just like you would pour water from a pitcher. Poetic.

Boomerang Drag and drop
Interesting metaphor for drag and drop. Another problem with the good old ways of doing cut and paste is that the user gets no feedback whatsoever when she presses CTRL-C. I think this is very promising.
