Microsoft Does DDR
Dance Dance Revolution for the uninitiated - is a video game that requires you to follow patterns on the screen by stomping on corresponding shapes on a pad.
Microsoft has created a similar pad to surf email messages and navigate files. The company says it's just a concept with no real world applications, but who knows! The company spends millions if not billions of R&D money exploiting the latest technologies so they may find a way to trickle down to the masses somewhere, somehow.
I will outright say this is totally LAME. Instead of feat stomping to navigate files, why not research something more intuitive such has hand gestures. So far, only Universities and small start ups are looking into that area and I'm sure a huge company like Microsoft could find a way to leverage their software into good user interface design . . . well MAYBE and thats a HUGE maybe.
