This is somewhat off topic, but we're all humans interacting with
computers (and they do mention VoIP!), so I thought others might be
interested to know:

BumpTop
BumpTop is a fresh and engaging new way to interact with your computer
desktop. You can pile and toss documents like on a real desk. Break
free from the rigid and mechanical style of standard point-and-click
desktops. Interact by pushing, pulling and piling documents with
elegant, self revealing gestures. BumpTop's stunning interface makes
clever use of 3D presentation and smooth physics-based animations for an
engaging, vivid user experience.
Octopz
Octopz, the powerful new next-generation online collaboration software,
was created to meet the challenges of creative professionals such as
product designers, graphic artists, photographers and digital media
producers. Octopz uniquely allows users to markup a wide range of
interactive digital media – videos, audio, animations and 360º panoramas
– as quickly and easily as image files and standard documents. Octopz
also allows meeting organizers to invite anyone with a Mac, PC or Linux
to join an online meeting instantly, enabling them to see and talk to
other participants in real-time using built-in text messaging, VoIP and
webcams.
