The “Piler” app demo that I created in 2007-2008

This video is just a simple demo that I created to demonstrate a UI metaphor for a multitouch project I worked on a while ago. The intent of the app was to let users sort and arrange a stack of items using a real-world metaphor such a rock, push-pin, and so forth. In my demo, the categories of items in turn would then be collected into a CSV that you could insert into excel and analyze. You can see it all work in the video.
