That it has endured is a testament to the genius of its design. But the industry is now at a crossroads: New technologies promise higher-bandwidth interaction, but have yet to find a truly viable implementation. 10/GUI aims to bridge this gap by rethinking the desktop to leverage technology in an intuitive and powerful way."</em></p><p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="600" height="335" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=6712657&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=1&amp;show_byline=1&amp;show_portrait=0&amp;color=&amp;fullscreen=1" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="600" height="335" src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=6712657&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=1&amp;show_byline=1&amp;show_portrait=0&amp;color=&amp;fullscreen=1" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p><p>This is unlike anything I've seen before - you have to watch the whole video to understand how radically different this input system is from anything else I've seen. It's not quite as jaw-dropping futuristic as what we saw in the movie Minority Report, but it's still very cool nonetheless. Well worth watching!</p>

I really like the concept, but it also uses more desk area than a regular keyboard. That may be a problem for most. It'll be interesting to see when/if this concept becomes reality soon and if it'll be a widely accepted next gen replacement of the keyboard + mouse.
