We can quickly become quite used to the breakthroughs in technology that sometimes even the most amazing things fail to surprise us. Slurp is different though. Watch the video below and you can’t help but be amazed by this ‘digital eyedropper’ which claims to allow you to ’suck’ files from one place and drop them into another.

I really hope this isn’t fake – some credible sources are reporting on this story and here’s what the people at Slurp had to say :

“Slurp is tangible interface for manipulating abstract digital information as if it were water. Taking the form of an eyedropper, Slurp can extract (slurp up) and inject (squirt out) pointers to digital objects. We have created Slurp to explore the use of physical metaphor, feedback, and affordances in tangible interface design when working with abstract digital media types. Our goal is to privilege spatial relationships between devices and people while providing new physical manipulation techniques for ubiquitous computing environments.”

What do you think? The song at the end sounds pretty familiar
