New Goggles Offer Minority Report-Style Interface With Heads-Up Display 67
Lucas123 writes "A Taiwanese non-profit R&D organization is demonstrating a new heads-up type display that allows users to interact with the floating virtual screens using finger swipes. The new i-Air Touch technology from the Industrial Technology Research Institute is being developed for an array of devices, including PCs, wearable computers and mobile devices. The technology allows a user's hand to be free of any physical device such as a touchpad or keyboard for touch input. ITRI plans to license the patented technology to manufacturers. The company sees the technology being used in not only consumer arenas (video), but also for medical applications such as endoscopic surgery and any industrial applications that benefit from hands-free input."

Seriously have journalists never seen any other SF movie?
It's like the only movie that's ever had a futuristic interface in it at all.
The moment I see some mouthbreather mention minority report I stop caring about anything they've written.
