The Fingerlink Interaction System reads finger motions and using webcam, projection and computer hardware and allows you to capture the information in front of you - importing the visual information you designate as data.[/quote] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2l0qklSzks[/media] Pretty awesome!
looks very expensive.
As weird as Japan can be, they also make the coolest shit ever.
[QUOTE=laserguided;40311448]looks very expensive.[/QUOTE] Seeing as it's just a typical webcam, software, and a projector, I can't imagine it being too prohibitively priced.
I want one of these.
Isn't technology great.
I always dreamed of this
At 2:45, I instantly thought of the holographic map of the complex in [i]Prometheus[/i]. While not quite there, in that this is still entirely 2D, it is getting pretty close.
The technology we have when were all old is going to be great.
Oh yes, a step closer to the future. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suaTOGgzQxA[/media] [sp]Or past.[/sp]
Wow, it's amazing to think we're entering the [i]future[/i] so soon.
Pretty advanced stuff, that. Probably quite useful.
This would be awesome for drafting, you place a paper with your 3 view drawings on the table, it auto detects and then generates the 3D model for you and overlays it on the paper, letting you sketch out a 3D view of it
So with this, could I use control + F to find certain words in a book or paper? I've always wished I could be able to do that.

[QUOTE=Laserbeams;40316220]It won't happen for a while, because computers can't read very well[/QUOTE] Ehh.. I think Google's servers are doing a good job
Looks like a modern version of Xerox's Digital Desk concept.
but since it's made by fujitsu it will just break in a month

I can see being used for something like those sick-ass CAD holograms in the Iron Man movies.
Narrator sounds like the guy who's developing that crazy physics/combat game where the pc is a rabbit humanoid.
Although this isn't really 'new' technology, (The ability to use projectors and cameras as a touch screen on surfaces has been around for a while now), the way they apply it is very exciting, I can't wait to see what applications this may have in the real world.

Reminds me of SixthSense from a couple years ago. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrtANPtnhyg[/media]
