Title: Multi-touch computing - a la Minority Report
Post by: Tyler on January 24, 2007, 05:28:03 PM

Remember the scenes in Minority Report where Tom Cruise was moving objects around a screen with his hands?  Well, we're not too far off from seeing this on the mass market.  This is very cool!!  Follow the link to see what I'm talking about...
