Minority Report Interface

Post by [JiF]Mike »

A startup company has come up with a new pc interface very similar to what was in the movie. Check out the video...looks pretty cool.

Ahhhhhh!
After a day working on some difficult spreadsheets my arms are going to be shot. All that waving & twiddling about. It's like playing a game on the WII. You can do all the actions like you were actually there, but man what a waste of energy. My mates couldn't get how I was beating them so easily Friday night by standing still & just flicking the wrist.
I must admit it was 3.30 in the morning & we had been to a wedding reception & were carrying on drinking after. I didn't want to move too violently, so came up with the small movement. It proved far more effective. All that waving of arms could be easily replicated on a touch pad! Nice idea, but back to the drawing board chaps.

Remember it,
I bunked off school to go see it in the cinema, and got reported to the cops for not being in class :(
Oh the ignominy of being taken back to school in a cop car
