See-Through 3D Computer With Gesture Controls Gives Us a Glimpse of the Future

silentbrad writes with this excerpt from Boy Genius Report: "Some believe a future full of massive, gesture-controlled computer displays like the ones seen in Twentieth Century Fox's Minority Report are an inevitability, and a prototype PC designed by an intern with the Microsoft Applied Sciences Group may be among the first steps in making that future a reality. Massachusetts Institute of Technology Ph.D student and MIT Media Lab research assistant Jinha Lee recently set out to change the way we interact with desktop computers. While progress has been made with 3D display technology, 3D has not yet proliferated in the personal computing space and Lee wants to change that. The end result of his work is a fascinating desktop computer with a transparent 3D display and a unique gesture-based interface that could change the way we use computers."

Heavy user of gesture-based interfaces

[Anonymous Coward]

For many years I've heavily used gesture-based interfaces--while driving!

Hasn't had much of an impact though--everyone else still can't drive.
