it is an interesting effect, but I don't see how it will ever add anything to the experience for either the writer or the reader. I guess you are supposed to imagine yourself watching some captivating writer craft a brilliant post and feel some inspiration as you peer into the surroundings that inspired such vivid thought. But who would ever want to watch someone else write? Especially when 'watching' them is just seeing some set of fuzzy colors drawn from their forehead and walls. The only time I can imagine this becoming interesting is when they can convince some upper shelf write like <insert contemporary novelist here> to participate, and at that point you are basically just turning them into a zoo animal.

I like Kevin Rose, but I wish he - and most of the other great minds that have already hit it big once or twice - would learn to think a bit out beyond pictures, blogs, and aggregating news sites. There is still so much that can be improved through creative thinkers pushing the boundaries of how we use the internet; blogs, picture sharing, etc... though are quickly approaching the limit of how immersive they can currently be.
