Those geniuses over at MIT keep coming up with amazing technological curiosities. First, they decided ‘to heck with the mouse’, and now, they’ve created this contraption that allows you to draw in 3D.

What’s even more amazing is an interactive glove that gives users the ability to create 3D geometric shapes just by changing gestures.

It’s a little hard to visualize this, so here’s a video of ‘Beyond’ in action:
