We reported more than a year ago about the cookie-sized, computerized tiles that can be stacked and shuffled in your hands called Siftables. Last year Siftables was a research project initiated at the MIT Media Lab. Since then they have all finished their graduate work, and last summer they formed a start-up company called Sifteo. With support from True Ventures and the National Science Foundation, they are now hard at work developing the next generation of the technology to bring their vision of Siftables to the world.

This year they’ll be creating games, reaching out to developers, working with manufacturers, and running beta tests with players. They look forward to continuing to get to know everyone, and to working with you to create the future of play. In addition to this you should follow the Sifteo blog, because this start up is going to be hot. They will be on sale this year… Watch out!
