During an a project last year we talked about a user interface like what you seen in Minority Report. We thought of many cool alternatives but seeing as that was really outside the scope of what we did it fell under the ‘Shinny Thoughts’ category.
Microsoft are working on Surface and really looks promising. Other people have been hacking the Nintendo Wii interface and using this in Proof Of Concepts (POC). Now Mgestyk have brought out their gesture-based control interface. I have tried interfaces like this which use webcams before with verying results but have Mgestyk finally nailed it?
Their FAQ covers a good number of questions but until we actually get to try this in the wild will we know how good it actually is. Will this be fine-grained enough to use at the application level?
