malleable screen

You could lie these on surfaces, bend them, change them... it essentially makes things much more organic, opening many more doors.

I've been so focused on vibration cancelling and magnets that I totally forgot about just moving the screen around! Dur.

I've been daydreaming about the higher level applications to this

Side note: good use cases for things that could be playful, but not necessarily constrained to the traditional "game space"

Any other type of selection method would just be frustrating. Blinking? Making noises (that would be fun, but it would irritate others), scrunching up your face? Raising your eyebrows? Well, that one might work... but I imagine it would get tiring. And how do you scroll your browser down?

Anyways, I guess what I'm getting at, is that I need one of these neurosky headsets... in a bad way. For experimentation.... and the children.

In the case of using the skateboard to move forward, I could see that being a problem... having to maintain a state of mental momentum. There have been innumerable times when I have been drawing (physically, pencil and paper) and I tried to ctrl Z. Why not use this as an interaction method? I already do it subconsciously. When I'm in the car with someone and they're not talking loud enough, I'm constantly going to turn up the stereo to hear them better, and then stopping myself.

Hmm, this is interesting. Not entirely practical due to it being cumbersome... but I think things will start to get smaller, and at that point, we can start focusing on becoming cyborgs. (Which is really the end goal, for me at least)
