- et-al 9y agoI wouldn't necessarily blame science fiction as a whole, but the moreso the concept artists or directors for sticking with physical touch screens. And while many may think of Minority Report as the innovator for interfaces, the current Avengers' Tony Stark has a holographic interface that he manipulates in space. (I'm just as excited as you are because I had the same idea in middle school, but until a manufacturer like Apple implements it in a flagship device, I'm just considering this a novel gadget. And as another aside, I always thought the idea of moving screens the way Tom Cruise does as super tiring--lemme just nudge that Thinkpad nub.)
- DKnoll 9y agoWhy be disappointed? Reverse projecting onto a 'glass' panel would be better UX, with this your hand can interrupt the beam of the projector obscuring the picture.
