Minority Report via WII
Thu, 03 Jan 2008 10:17

In my travels on the blog-o-sphere today I found a great post by pdp at the Hakiri blog. Someone has created a way to emulate the computer user interface that is demonstrated in the movie Minority Report starring Tom Cruise. The best part about this interface is that it's dirt cheap and, by looking at the brief demonstration video on YouTube, really functional.

With the advent of the iPhone like interface being all "touch screen finger pointy"(tm), is this going to be the future of computer user interfaces? Will we all need to go workout at the gym just to be able to function with our computer for eight or more hours a day? Ahhh the future looks bright (and with stronger biceps).
