Wow, super-intuitive. Maybe even worse than the likes of FancyForm…

I like checkboxes better because they work.

Nope, no matter what I try – doesn’t work! circling in such tight quarters cumbersome at best – should be a much more efficient way of selecting than making a full circle around it.

I’m waiting for someone to write some kind of Javascript game with this technology. Seems like the more likely use and would be quite cool.

Ah, got it, you need to draw the circle “on” the image and not “around” it.
Works perfectly like that. Maybe the instructions could be a bit clearer ;)

Not having much luck in Firefox 3.5 on the mac.
Managed to select an image after several attempts but no luck in unselecting.

Must admit that a quick click is simpler ;)

@Jay: Very valid point. A multi-grab would be awesome. I’ll take a look at that — thanks for the idea.

Even if the mouse were to be replaced with a different device (say like Minority Report), in this particular case, it’s still easier to just “touch” (select) the image, rather than have to draw circles around each image. If in the future we have to draw small circles around everything we want to interact with, I’ll have to remain living in the past. ;)

If I could select more than one image with a larger circle, that may be a bit more useful, but it’s still imprecise, and the lack of feedback (perhaps a trail of what my circle looks like would help) can make it a bit frustrating. Just moving the mouse around the page (and not actually trying to select anything) can cause images to be selected/de-selected.

I know it’s just a tech demo, but perhaps some criticism can help push the demo into something more practical. :)
