If any of you saw Minority report, there was a part where Tom Cruise's character used this amazing computer that was all hologramy and stuff. This is the real deal.

It looks cool, but I think that that interface would actually cause the user to do more work than a user profficient with keyboard shortcuts and mouse.

Yeah, i saw the first video about this a while back. It looks like they've really been working on this. I would imagine it would be AWESOME for photoshopping.

Looks like fun. I don't really know about the practical uses for it, but I'd love to have one just to mess around with it.

for very good reason. If you keep up with Apple, They own the patent on this.
