The graveyard is a high-concept game by indie developers Tale of Tales in which you take control of an elderly lady and guide her through a graveyard. Once you have reached the chapel you may sit on the seat. The game ends when you leave the graveyard. It’s an interesting concept which really succeeds in creating a mood of quiet contemplation. You can also buy a full version of the game for $5USD which introduces the possibility of death to the game.
FluidTunes is an amazing application for MacOS X which allows you to control your iTunes music via hand gestures and a camera. It really has to be seen to be believed, luckily you can check out a video of it in action on their site. Did I mention it’s free too?
Word Clock is a typographical way of telling time by Simon Heys. Nice concept and you can download it as a screensaver too!

Play/Create is the digital toy box of award winning designer Daniel Brown. There are some interesting experiments with audio and visual (shockwave player required).
Navigaya is interesting to say the least. It appears to be a browser (inside your browser!) based in Flash. You can view their selected news items or search multiple search engines, all the while with a music video playing in the background. Websites actually open within the application which is really well put together. I’m not sure how useful it is but it sure is pretty.
