A very interesting video that I found on slashdot earlier today.

It definitely makes you realize how locked in to the keyboard and mouse constructs we are, and while it's nothing terribly new, it seems much more practical then the VR craze that happened in the 90's.

Table top interfaces are all the rage right now in research. The conference I was at in Switzerland had tons of similar projects. Unfortunately the cheapest table top is like 5k so maybe in ten yurrs

The guy in the video said that it was relatively inexpensive, but of course 5k to some is inexepensive, so who knows.

I can understand these being all the rage right now, as they are relatively intuitive compared to the many other ways of interfacing with a machine. Furthermore, I think making work on a computer more interactive, physically, would engage people and keep them interested for longer periods of time.

Anyhow, I am excited that technology like this will be emerging, even if it's years from now.

I think in maybe 5 years you're going to see this stuff in a LOT of consumer electronics' interface... maybe laptops.

I'd say it'd be some future macbook first.

yeah, but you can't modify a lava lamp with your hands on a tablet PC, which is one of the first things I ask when buying a new computer.
