Minority Report’s Gestural Interface Now An (Augmented) Reality…

On a previous blog post, I blogged about the TED presentation that showed John Underkoffler showing his Minority Report interface to the audience.  It now seems that this is a reality from this video posted on Singularity Hub (via TechCrunch.)  This specific interface is often referenced in Augmented Reality presentations to show how AR is used in a projected future from the movie, but now it appears that it is in fact a reality. I suggest people start using the Iron Man 2 Augmented Reality interface to show the new future

John Underkoffler’s TED Presentation On Gestural Interfaces

This is a mind-blowing video showing the near-term future of gestural interfaces from John Underkoffler.   This was originally posted by Cliff Kuang from Fast Company and you should definitely check out the full article here.  As for the video, I don’t think people realize how close the HUI (Human User Interface) revolution is to becoming a reality.  Between internet connected television sets with integrated webcams to motion based games coming out for Xbox’s Project Natal Kinect, consumer based products will be first to usher in this revolution in interaction.
