Check out this YouTube VIDEO. It features an interface a lot like what Tom Cruise was doing in the movie, "Minority Report." The kewlest thing was manipulated NASA maps.


TOPICS: Computers/Internet
KEYWORDS: cool; interface; mdm; minorityreport; video
I also like the idea of the virtual keyboard.

Cool stuff but the virtual keyboard would be a struggle for me. I need the tactile feedback I guess.

Apple may use this technology in a future video iPod.

(A) Is the "kiosk" going to have germs from all of the other people who've been touching the interface?

(B) Will the "board" be reading your fingers (again and again) as a biometric security measure?
