IIRC B. Gates used one awhile back to demostrate something.

I was buzzed at the time and don't remember.

Yep and I think one of the MS folks even used some type of either, ala Minority Report, to do some 'puter work. Wiz Bang!

It won't be much longer before we drag an image of a pizza and drop it on an image of our face and it gets delivered. (Can imagine "other image delivery services" would come along soon after. )

Probably even have a robot image to feed it to our fat asses so we don't have to even get off of the couch. Surprised this isn't designed for a bedroom, then our lazy butts wouldn't even have to get out of bed.

Technology is great, but it seems that it's focused more on making us so stupid we don't even have to think any more.

Yes but if I have a sore back a robot might help my up/down movements!!

I'm an electronic musician, and I would KILL to have one of these in my music studio room (or living room if I could convince the wife)

Their software used to be freeware and they included plans on their website for how to build it. Now, unfortunately, it looks like they're going commercial with it. It'll probably cost a few million. I think I still have my copy of that software and the PDF file of the shapes that the program recognizes on a CD somewhere. I remember that it entailed having a computer projector and a webcam that sat under the tabletop facing upward.

Also with kids all those wires are in the way..

Cats have a great time chowing down on them...
