Remember in the movie Minority Report where Tom Cruise is using some state-of-the-art computer where he controlled pretty much everything just by moving his hands? Well, according to Microsoft’s head guru, Bill Gates, this technology has been in the works for quite some time and in as little as 1 year from now such technology could be released.
How this technology would work is by using built-in motion sensors on TVs and computer screens that would mimic human movements and integrate them into the system. This could mean that the function of a mouse and keyboard may be rendered obsolete in the near future, although, I doubt most people will be able to afford such future technology for quite some time. The nice thing about these future gadgets (besides being exciting) is that technology continues to improve and 2nd generation stuff will become even more affordable.
It is really a nice gadget.Best of luck to Microsoft
I didn’t see the Minority Report but I have seen enough Sci-Fi shows to wonder if we would ever see this technology in our lifetime. I was wondering too about the screen being holographic instead of TV or computer screens.
Yeah, the rate that technology advances increases exponentially as time goes by, so I’m sure we are in for some crazy innovative technologies in the coming years. Im just waiting for those prototype flying suits to become a reality!
