The future of the way we do stuff

Future_search2_petitinvention
Ever thought the idea of the power of the Internet being stuck in a small box is a bit old-school.

Well here's an interesting device, which delivers the power of relevant information to a handy mobile gadget.

Choose a building and touch a floor and it tells you more details of the building.
Well, it doesn’t have to be a building, but it can be any object you see. You can use it when you want to know a car model, an insect name, what kind of food is served at a restaurant and how much, who built a bridge, etc. etc. But as a designer myself, I hope it’s able to tell me a name of a font of the type I see, the size, color (in RGB), and so on.

It's just a concept now, but one of 10 Futuristic User Interfaces set to change the way we interact with information. [thanks Martin]
