Obscura Digital Demos "Minority Report"-Like Display

Barence and other readers sent along word of a demonstration by Obscura Digital of a new technology it's dubbed a multi-touch hologram — reminiscent of the display in Minority Report. The demonstration shows a man interacting with holographic images projected before him, moving them around and resizing them. It's only sort of like the Minority Report display, which used hand movements to control elements on a screen. Earlier, Obscura had demoed another take on the Spielbergian technology, a multi-touch wall.

Why Slashdot can be so depressing

Here we have a report about a cool new technology - yet the Slashdot summary is more concerned with how it compares to pretend tech from sci-fi movies. Pretty much de rigeur for Slashdot I guess.
