The Mud Tub is an interesting experiment with interaction from artist and hardware/software developer Tom Gerhardt while his work is never exactly not practical it’s cool too see artists experiment with other forms of interaction. Weather it be fire or mud or electrons. When it comes to The Mud Tub the artist says:

By sloshing, squishing, pulling, punching, etc, in a tub of mud (yes, wet dirt), users control games, simulators, and expressive tools; interacting with a computer in a new, completely organic, way. Born out of a motivation to close the gap between our bodies and the digital world, the Mud Tub frees the traditional computer interaction model of it’s rigidity, allowing humans to use their highly developed sense of touch, and creative thinking skills in a more natural way.
