Facetopcecting
by Josh Rubin
Facetop is a video conferencing and remote collaboration concept that actually makes sense. The image of each user is ghosted over the computer screen which makes it easier to look at each-other and the content at the same time. It also enables natural gestures like pointing. The people you see in the pictures above are not reflections!
Starck Mouse
by Josh Rubin
Microsoft has commissioned Philippe Starck to design a mouse. The scroll wheel is nicely hidden in the center line detail, and the proportions are rather nice. But other than that, it's nothing ground breaking. According to the distributor it will be available in the Fall.

Grokker
by Josh Rubin
Grokker is a search tool that organizes results in a logical, zoom-able visual interface. By visually arranging data it's great for topic searches because it displays results with contextual relevancy. Trying to explain it is kind of silly-- just go download the trial and see for yourself. It's the best visualization experience I've had since Newsmap.
UPDATE: I had to uninstall this thing because it was creating a suspicious amount of network connections to its home server, even when the app wasn't running. Too bad because it's a great visualization.
