Hi, maybe our latest project "Chemieraum" could be interseting for you. vimeo.com/4257943 Users can analyse and discover molecules and atoms on an interactive screen guided by haptic and visual feedback.
Just think about it… What if you were trapped under something heavy and the mouse was out of your reach? Scary, right? That's exactly why we have these keyboard shortcuts so you can still use Vimeo until the help arrives.
