BubbleBoard


Microsoft's research center created this cool answering machine:

BubbleBoard uses the metaphor of water bubbles to visualise speech. When a voice message is left, a bubble is created floating to the top of the screen. As time passes, they slide down to the bottom of the screen. Alternatively they can be dragged to the plug hole to be deleted. Within the bubble, an image of the person leaving the message is also shown. How many messages there are, who they are from and when they were left can therefore be seen at a glance.
Sweet !
