Wiimote Turns TV into Touchless MS Surface

RemyBR writes "User interface project allows you to control objects on a display using gestures, working like Microsoft's Surface but without touching the screen at all. Inspired by Johnny Chung Lee's work, the system requires you to wear Minority Report-style gloves equipped with infrared emitters on your fingertips. A Wiimote on top of the display keeps track of these IR LEDs, while the software can read the motion down to two-finger pinching gestures for image zooming."

If only we could control Slashdot with a Wiimote!

I saw this video three weeks ago when it came out and went around the web alongside the video and mocking version of the Microsoft Surface. Why are we waiting for Gizmodo before posting something cool? Should Slashdot just become an aggregator with comments and moderation for the other tech blogs out there?
