About Sifteo

We founded Sifteo to bring our research from the MIT Media Lab to the world. We're building the future of play.

What are Siftables?

Siftables are our first product: sets of cookie-sized computers with motion sensing, neighbor detection, graphical display, and wireless communication.

How do Siftables work?

Siftables act in concert to form a single interface: users physically manipulate them—piling, grouping, sorting—to interact with digital information and media. Siftables provide a new platform on which to implement tangible games.

When can I buy some Siftables?

We are commercializing the technology now. Check the Sifteo blog for the latest, or sign up for our mailing list and we'll let you know as we firm up release details.

Who is creating Siftables?

David Merrill and Jeevan Kalanithi originally created Siftables at the MIT Media Lab, and are joined by Brent Fitzgerald to form the Sifteo founding team.

We received our first round of funding from True Ventures. Our work is also funded by research grants from the National Science Foundation.
