I just discovered this video in Wired Gadget Lab Epicenter blog . The creators called it text 2.0, but in reality I believe it is reading 2.0 we are looking at. Take a look and make up your own mind. I can think of so many applications of this. People with reading difficulties will be able to enjoy reading with the text itself helping out.

Aww, I <3 it. Seriously, I love smart new user interfaces and besides real smart multitouch this is the next-best idea I have seen in a while.

The skimming thing would definitely be useful for researching students, especially Masters/PhD. Cool!
