In Exchange's popular new resource for trainers, Engaging Adult Learners Using Multiple Intelligences, Constant Hine describes the characteristics of individuals who favor visual/spatial learning strategies: "People with strong visual/spatial intelligence process information and express themselves best through colors, pictures, photos, videos, graphics, and visual and mental imagery. Visual/Spatial learners benefit from and are more likely to retain content if you use color coding or symbols to categorize different types of information. If this is one of your strong intelligences, then you teach from your strong intelligence using visual/spatial strategies. For example, you use a graphic organizer to present an overview of your information, such as a flow chart.... You include color, photos, and clip art in your PowerPoint presentations; and use video clips or prepare visually beautiful charts.... People who are spatially intelligent have a strong sense of direction and an ability to think and to plan in 3-D, like a sculptor renders her ideas in clay...."

Are you kidding me. I couldn't even watch it to the end. Any attempt to put kids into containers should be given serious and sober second thought. Armed with the knowledge that "sitting is the new smoking" and that North American children are already way to inactive, this invention would not get my support unless used in a situation where a child was expereincing physical delays that required them to be in a wheel-chair. We already put children in conatainers for many hours a day (car seats for watching TV, Strollers, HIgh Chairs, etc) and our existing behaviours need to be rethought, never mind going even further down that road. Sorry - this one doesn't get my support.
That being said, the technology is great and used in situations of injury and or disabilitites it might indeed have a great future.
