A Hand Gesture of the Future

Just when you are getting used to the way things are, They go and change it and turn it in to something completely different.

MicroSoft is working on a new way for us to interact with our world. No longer will we think of the computer as a computer. That age is rapidly fading. In it's place are multi-sensory input devices.

A table that illuminates with your documents presented in realistic 3-D fashion. Those documents will be able to be manipulated just as you manipulate paper documents today. Most incredibly to me is something that in the future will seem so ordinary, as ordinary as strapping on a watch. That something is the transfer of information from one device to another. The host on the video demonstrates how you will be able to take a picture, set your camera on a "table," immediately display the photo like an old Kodak print, then drag it onto your cellphone (or any other hand-held device) which you've also placed on the table.

Watch the demo...You'll be amazed.

Watch the video.
