This is what happens when you can control magnetic fields. Quite awesome how they can control it so precisely.

Thats sick. With the low video quality, almost looks like a 3D hologram generator you'd see on fictional TV

Isn't this from BMW museum or something? I thought strings were attached to the metal balls..

My bad, it's actually on ball bearings on string.

Cool stuff nontheless.
It would be awsome if magnetic field could be manipulated like that :P
