Fontplore Showreel is an interactive application that uses objects laid on a large screen as an interaction method for searching font databases. I particularly liked how fonts on a piece of paper can be laid on top of the screen, and the screen would update the interface to show what font has been used on the paper. The typography used is also very modern, and works well with the user interface. Additionally, the interface felt very responsive and fluid.
However, I wondered if there was a reason for the particular choice of objects used to interact with the screen. The user would rotate a rectangular object on the screen to interact with the user interface; I think the interaction could be better by using a touch interface.
