New tech that's basically hypertext, only instead of clicking, you find the new pages embedded in pictures you zoom into, and shift focus. You can have a chain of these zoomed images + web pages an unending size, apparently. This video doesn't show the more basic but possibly more impressive aspect, though, of using this tech to zoom in and out really far seamlessly on large pictures. This could be the next step in tech like the street view on Google earth (though there's a distinct difference between a camera dolly type movement and a zoom, of course...) I think it's really interesting. Doubt it would replace clicking, but I'm sure it could have its uses.
