Check out a brief history of technology that somehow lead to iPads or other tablet devices. Beginning with the 1888’s Teleautograph. In the image above you see one of the first tablet computers – the Gridpad. With a stylus pen interface instead of a keyboard.

Responsive Design Responsively Visualized
Just resize your browser window to see the effect. The creators approach. Instead of verbally smartassing about responsive design theories just show it in a little presentation that’s graspable.

The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore – by William Joyce. Who worked as an illustrator and animator for Pixar, Disney and Dreamworks. If I had an iPad I’d grab it. But nonetheless I wouldn’t ring in crap like “a new era of interactive storytelling has begun” or “go home you useless-real-book-on-my-shelf-piece-of-shit”. Because doing stuff like this requires brilliant artists – like William – and those are rare. And it requires a rare device. How many of your friends have an iPad?

There’s only few games that make sense on a touch device. Bumpy Road is one. Stunning look, fluffy animations and a haven’t-seen-before interface.

Extending touch devices with physical control and physical output. Looks funny at a first glance. Is a necessary and inspiring approach, though.
