Our senior developer Chris came across a new interface for searching in YouTube. It’s called warp mode, and uses an intuitive Flash user interface allowing people to watch and move between videos in a playful way. It’s a completely different approach to exploring the vaults of the online video giant – and quite an addictive one too!

I’m unsure whether it’s currently a hidden feature, or in beta testing mode. There’s a lot of talk about the future possibilities of touch screen interaction at the moment and there’s definite potential here, especially with its interactive, playful search metaphor. Check out the video below to see exactly how warp mode works.
