Wiimote Turns TV into Touchless MS Surface

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the now-thats-what-i'm-talking-about dept.

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."

    maybe it's because slashdot is an empty shell of it's former self and is pretty worthless to contribute to on a meaningful level. i run into articles 2-3 times a week that i see on slashdot a couple of days later but due to not having done the slashdot goosestep i've lost all my mod points. do you really think i'm going to support such a corrupt system? i'm here to watch slashdot become the next digg and laugh and troll while it happens.
