The technology looks very nice, if a bit slow to react at times (from the video). But maybe that's just a voluntary kind of "momentum" introduced in their software.

(And getting to make choices for a movie based on his research is one heck of an opportunity to imprint minds with the idea "this is the way of the future" if the technology ever does come out commercially)

Instead of Minority Report, I'm more interested in the "piece of paper" computer that is featured in the Caprica show. From what I've seen, we have the technology already.

Well there's this MIT student's project which looks similar to that Caprica thing (from what I've seen of it):

Pfft.. Minority Report? Make me an interface like the one in Hackers.

Yeah those equations flying around seemed _real_ useful :)

No doubt. Not to mention the visual and audio feedback you get when information is sent/received. I feel like there is a real advantage to watching bright colored bytes buzz by me while I explore data.
