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.

Firstly, this is not new at all, and was not in need of yet another repost... Secondly, the main thing in Minority Report isn't the computer interface, but the precogs! Thirdly, a closer technology to the computer interface in Minority Report is seen in G-Speak (watch?v=dyMVZqJk8s4)

as i stated above, i agree with you, but PS3 already has this type of technology built into it for the PlaystationEye, where you dont have to touch or wear anything, just turn on the camera and it picks up specific motions from even specific parts or points on the body, so yes distance is key, and SONY obviously knew to stick with the "no interface" approach, currently this tech is only used for games on Ps3 but I can gaurantee SONY will break the mold on this one

notice he mentioned "entertainment aps", well of course my PS3 utilizes this type of technology for just that, It uses the PlaystationEye, the only real difference is that on PS3 you dont have to touch ANYTHING to use this technology, the camera picks up on body and limb motions even from specific points like fingers or wrists, or whatever is the apropriate motion medium for the particular game or aplication, personally i would rather not touch my screen, it would get dirty

where can I get some of that software? U can just get a power glove to interact with it, you dont need the gel screen unless ur doing pressure sensitive activities.

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...

why do you block anything having to do with lightglove technology?

damn i never new that will be going to the future this quick.new shit is going to come out and old stuff is gonna suck ass to tell u the truth I DONT WANT THAT i want what i have

It's also already available on some HP computers.

awesome!

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

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.
DeeJaySoulStep (November 2, 2008 at 3:46 pm)
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...

When this eventually gets into home use I think some company(microsoft) will start selling computer/touchscreen gloves.

So... how much longer for fully 3d holoprojectors; imax viewing without the shutter glasses?

V i love sex anyone want to meet up??? G

It's neat and probably functional. I don't think you could sell something like that unless you found a way to integrate it into a more successful medium.
Porn could do for this thing what it did for DVDs and computers.
