Rube Goldberg-esque Video Shows Off Non-Touch Tech
For quite some time now, we have been able to engage computer systems by simply touching an interface, whether it be with a credit card or a bare finger. Increasingly, though, such systems are becoming antiquated. Why bother touching something when you can just almost touch something?

Our take? Pretty dang cool. [From: NearField.org and BERG, via Speedbird]

Someone please give these guys one million dollars so they can do this video proper. This is a great proof of concept... the first company to bring wireless electricity to my desk needs a commercial like this to get people talking the same way honda's rube goldberg spot lit people's email's addressbooks on fire.
