they are probably called expoding tiles by microsoft...when you hover them extra stuff pops up around the tile...i guessNothing explosive , is Tom trying to show the 3D touch interface for live tiles or interactive love tiles ? And picture he twitted isn't clear :/

I very very doubt Tom will provide right now a clear image Just a teaser.
What is explosive about that pic? I only see a huge Facebook tile, and some stuff around it
Imagine this:
U hover ur finger on top of the music tile, and u get playback controls.
That is exploding tiles
I still don't understand why I have to hover my finger on top of the tile and they don't just implement "long press" for the same effect just more comfortable.
This really screams "gimmick" to me.
anyone else see that the 3 touch buttons below the screen is ultra close to each other?
Sorry but I generally hate long presses. Long presses feel slow. Also they would need to reinvent the dragging of tiles then.
Plus, you might be able to do some z-axis movement with you fingers to do even more interaction.
The tile will need to know that it's the one you want to have exploded. So instead of long press you'll have long hover. There needs to be a difference between moving above the screen and interacting with it.
Don't get me wrong, it might be awesome. At this point with the available rumors and the sobering 3D movement attempts of Amazon and Samsung I just don't see it.

It doesn't necessarily need a long hover - mid-air gestures are also a possibility. In particular, moving your finger towards a tile then swerving to its edge could be a sufficient gesture to activate this. This would make it seamless and quick to both explode the tile and activate the particular icon.
