We should welcome our swarming robotic interfaces

If you think all interfaces are based on touchscreens, keyboards or mice, here's something to reshape your thinking.

Zooids are a new concept from Stanford University around tiny robotic units that swarm together on a surface to do everything from represent information in graphical ways to nudge someone's phone toward them across a table.

So much unexplored potential out there, but a lot to be inspired by when you find it.
