Remember that scene in Minority Report where Tom Cruise is manipulating tons of data by just waving at a projection and using gestures to do what we spends hours clicking with a mouse to do. Think that is hi-tech? What about all those hours spent modeling things in 3d, using Computer Aided Design (CAD)? Somehow the real 3d world is looked at and manipulated on a 2d screen and oftentimes its far from intuitive to master. Less like sculpture and more like numbercrunching, many argue that thanks to CAD many objects have lost a certain poetic nature in the translation from computer to realworld. Could this all be about to change though? Have a look at the film clip below – this is unreal, but imagine if you could manipulate objects with your hands and change them – your blue tooth headset that fits so well, but suddenly doesn’t when you put your sunglasses on? What if you could reshape it? Perhaps in the future that will no longer be impossible -
Is this for real?! I love those clips that show some technology of the future. I’m so envious of our kids – they’ll have so much awesome stuff available!
