Minority Report becomes reality

Jeff Han is a research scientist for New York University's Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences. Here, he demonstrates—for the first time publicly—his intuitive, "interface-free," touch-driven computer screen, which can be manipulated intuitively with the fingertips, and responds to varying levels of pressure.

This is an amazing technology for those who need to stand right next to their large screens.

At some point a person will want to interact in the same way but from a distance without having to touch the screen. This is possible with a small wrist device called LtWv that uses light to scan hand & finger motion.

Doubt this will get posted but thought I'd try again...

Fantastic!!! but its too expensive to be developed on a mass scale, also PC and MAC users are reluctant to change. Although, the interface would be great for Photoshop.

it's allready developed on the touch pads of Macbook 'Air' Laptops. The touchpads utilize the same facilities and abilities. So there you go

It's also already available on some HP computers.

cool but i will stop using computers if that unergonomic way of using a keyboard will be standard in the future. im a 10-finger-system user who needs to get real mechanical feedback when pressing keys! maybe they should add Nokias Sensitive Touch UI...
