Flyar to augment your twittering

Another short update on a fun application from ydreams comes to your desktop for free: look at your screen as if it where a mirror (virtual mirror) and see floating birds chirping your twitter feeds out. Move them away through gestures and enjoy.

Gestures feel more like a bit chaotic PlayStation-EyeToy-waving and I don’t see added value for twitter besides “it’s so cute” (where I also sometimes ask where is the value for twitter? ;-)), but it’s another fun application. Why not. It would actually become more “useful” or “thoughtfully integrated” if we could see the system in a real mirror. E.g. you go to your bathroom in the morning and check out yourself and the latest information pops up without the need of a (visible) computer, where you place yourself in front actively. So I consider ydreams’ idea more as another concept for the yet-known new interaction paradigms and technology-integration-into-everyday-objects to come and forget about the twittering. :-)
