The cats and kittens at the MIT Media Lab are always on some next-level type of wackiness, and the Siftables project doesn't break from that trend. The concept seems simple enough: a collection of small, self-contained input / display devices wirelessly link together to form an independent mini-network, or a control system for a PC. The cubes feature OLED screens, a 3-axis accelerometer, Bluetooth, flash memory, and a haptic actuation driver, and feature additional ports for attaching other devices. The aim is to create a more natural system for handling and displaying data, though we won't be surprised if this is somehow incorporated into an even more realistic version of Call of Duty. Check out the video after the break to see the little guys in action.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://www.ohgizmo.com/2008/03/14/mit-media-labs-siftables-take-optimus-keyboard-beyond-the-keyboard/">OhGizmo!</a>]<p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/15/mits-siftables-let-you-juggle-your-data-for-real/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>MIT's Siftables let you juggle your data... for real</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"> </p><p><a href=http://web.media.mit.edu/~dmerrill/siftables.html>Read</a> | <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/15/mits-siftables-let-you-juggle-your-data-for-real/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.engadget.com/forward/1140812/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/15/mits-siftables-let-you-juggle-your-data-for-real/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p><hr />
