This is supposed to be some sort of 3d display for weather information, but I’m not really sure how it works. From what I see in the video though, there’s an iPhone running a custom application which lets you control a panel with 30 air guns and ping pong balls on it.
You touch a spot on the grid, the corresponding air gun raises a ping pong ball on the panel. Isn’t this uber-cool?
I know, I know - it’s also pretty useless. Still, we had to post this. [via TUAW]
