- madplatter, on 11/18/2008, -1/+38Nice. When do they hook up the pool of guys in skin-tight outfits?
- brocheeze, on 11/19/2008, -2/+36this was on the front page literally like 2 days ago
- maehem, on 11/18/2008, -1/+28Wow! My arms are already tired from watching.
- Hale, on 11/19/2008, -1/+24The Minority Report interface was based on the real thing, not the other way around.
And this story was submitted 2 days ago: http://digg.com/gadgets/The_Minority_Report_comput ... - fluidfoundation, on 11/18/2008, -1/+19anything to enhance my porn experience.
- AmyVernon, on 11/18/2008, -0/+18hey - one was a girl.
- offrdbandit, on 11/19/2008, -1/+15Oh boy.
I cant wait to spend 8 hours a day standing up holding my arms out while to looking into space just to do a job I can already do now. - onlysc, on 11/18/2008, -1/+12now that is just flat out cool! looks like he is using the old nintendo power glove.
- Garofoli, on 11/19/2008, -0/+9Go watch the movie.
- zephc, on 11/18/2008, -2/+10You mean you have to use your hands? That's like a baby's toy!
It is funny how no one remembers Minority Report for anything other than the computer interface and the user-targeted holographic advertising. - darkciti2, on 11/19/2008, -0/+7Exactly.
I wasn't drooling over that. I hacked a Nintendo PowerGlove to work with X11 back in the day. It's fun as a proof of concept, but it's far from a productive research environment. You know things are becoming monotonous when you put your elbow down on the table and still try to keep moving the cursor (which eventually becomes more work).
Wake me up when we have direct brain-to-web connectivity a la Lawnmower Man.
Err, actually, don't wake me up. Let me stay logged on. ;) - pitchblack16, on 11/18/2008, -2/+8awesome
- Altair27, on 11/19/2008, -0/+5Old.
A Pre-cog posted this a few days ago. This is just an echo, not the original story. It happens. - pkon, on 11/19/2008, -0/+5Having multiple porn vid's playing at once, while easily transferring them between screens?
Couldn't think of any better invention in the world at this moment in time....until holographic porn machines come along. - oneredeye, on 11/19/2008, -1/+6Buried. Dupe. This was on the front page last week.
- falser, on 11/19/2008, -0/+4Reminds me of the Wii VR display:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jd3-eiid-Uw - madamme, on 11/19/2008, -0/+4For Real.
- austang, on 11/18/2008, -2/+6It's like a Wii with multiple controllers built into a glove.
- sittered, on 11/19/2008, -0/+4Your mom was on the front page figuratively like two days ago.
- sysadmin88, on 11/19/2008, -0/+3and she was sexy...
- writer0213, on 11/19/2008, -1/+4That's tight. Since that movie, which was a good flick, I've been waiting for something like this.
- swordoffire7, on 11/19/2008, -1/+4and here was me thinking it was groundhog day.....
- sims5487, on 11/19/2008, -0/+2You're saying you wouldn't want the full-body sensory replication machine seen in the same movie for that?
Come to think of it, I think it's even used in that capacity IN THE MOVIE. - spunalot, on 11/19/2008, -0/+2You should do a study of why this happens.
Is there a different population demographic today?
Do diggers have terrible short term memory from reading so much news.?
Was the tag line better?
Please do something to figure this important and perplexing phenomena out. - KibibyteBrain, on 11/19/2008, -0/+2@Narcowski Current gen direct neural interfaces, and I call them that because thats the only really accurate term, are hardly what anyone wants. The idea isn't to make computers that can _respond_ to biosignals, its computers that can _understand_ biosignals. And while neural interfaces do have some promise of helping applications needing split second control interfaces like fighter pilots, for the average user or even poweruser who basically needs to tell a computer what to do, get output, and then repeat over and over, these interfaces, and the operation model behind them, are not useful at all over more traditional input methods.
- mechard7512, on 11/19/2008, -0/+2You wouldn't be able to wank without moving everything around. ):
- inactive, on 11/19/2008, -1/+3I still believe this is the (near) future for how we will interact with computers, they will have to come up with something to hold your arms.
- Fragalishus, on 11/19/2008, -0/+2Electrolysis, more likely.
- snoogit, on 11/19/2008, -0/+2Put myself into the porn scene?
- gemlarin, on 11/19/2008, -0/+2Looks cool. But did they actually accomplish anything in all that gesturing? I mean, I did not see anything useful happening. It just looks like a tiresome way of doing everything I can already do sitting down with a mouse.
- jengerer, on 11/19/2008, -0/+1Technogasm'd.
- CaviMike, on 11/19/2008, -0/+1I was more enthused by the computer in the Samsung ad.
- Narcowski, on 11/19/2008, -1/+2They exist.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain-computer_interf ... - frankdozier, on 08/10/2009, -0/+1We've come a long way since the Power Glove, eh . . .
- inactive, on 11/19/2008, -0/+1but can it play crysis?
- inactive, on 11/19/2008, -0/+1Awesome, it's like a WII controller in gloves form. Now, let's the real Minority Report computer.
- wolfshawk, on 11/19/2008, -0/+1I like the recording device in "Strange Days". I records what you see, hear, smell, feel, ect. Then you or anyone can play it back and have the exact same experience in thier mind that was recorded. Good movie too.
- sittered, on 11/19/2008, -0/+1Red ball.
- Lanxdata, on 11/19/2008, -0/+1Ya now that I think about it. This and with those massive screens would be amazing for gaming. How about some full 360° worth a gaming screens and be put absolutely smack in the middle of your game.
- dragon76, on 11/20/2008, -0/+1See, it's that thinking that makes most Wii games suck. It's not about doing what you do now in a different way, it's about creating a way to do things you never imagined you could.
- effigy11, on 11/19/2008, -0/+1wow... amazing. Imagine if this were combined with computer/brain interface...
- bainfu, on 11/19/2008, -0/+1Thank god you meant interface.
For a second I stared out the window thinking that some computer was out there, calculating that in the future I am either going to run a red light and/or become an axe murder. The computer then dispatched some Gestapo force to find me, jump through that same window, beat the ***** out of me, and jail me for a crime I am yet to commit. - constantskeptic, on 11/19/2008, -0/+1already posted this on lifeofjim.com from crunchgear like two days after three days ago. get with it guys.
- Gareth321, on 11/19/2008, -0/+1Yea, you are wrong but I just want something a little cooler now damnit. Even if I cant just show off with the glowy condom glove and then go back to my keyboard and mouse when I'm alone.
- cragga, on 11/19/2008, -0/+1How many people think the ripping of image data from a video stream (oh so cleanly and in about zero seconds) is totally faked unless its like a layered MP4 or something?
This is a joke and idiots (with too much money) will buy.
pew pew
look at me arrange those letters with the speed of 3 wpm!
yes, this is intuitive. - Princeamor, on 11/19/2008, -0/+1Amazing...
- TheWindBlows, on 11/19/2008, -0/+1but it'd be so badass to go through millions of images/media with these gauntlets of power.
- HimThatSpeaks, on 11/19/2008, -0/+1I say it is even closer than most people think. I have this imac and I found this software and you can fly your plane (software only) using your hands. Not a mouse, or keyboard or anything else. And it worked with the iSight camera. And these touch screens like on the iphone and all these other phones, it is not even touch based. It is done with some type of camera that picks up the movement of your fingers. The day is coming and it is not far. I say less than two years before a commercially viable program takes the GUI to the air. The mouse will be a piece of the past (not really but it sounds better). I will keep the keyboard for the time being. Smartboard roughly use the same technology but on a more localized area.
Apple and Microsoft, among others probably have some kind of working model. Apple will launch it first, large success, Microsoft will see the public was ready for it and release it six months later (honestly that is how it will go down). And combine the motion detecting input devices, the wiimote, and these ultra small portable projectors - we have some damn interesting stuff down the road. I am a teacher, I can't wait for the day I am doing my presentation with some of this equipment integrated together. And then combine a couple small projectors synched somehow to create 3d images - CRAZY WOW!!!
Here is Egypt - you like that EGYPT!? Yeah!!! Man crazy stuff down the road. Whoever says tech is dead and innovation has nowhere to go. It has plenty of places to go. - ASSASSYN360, on 11/19/2008, -0/+1Behold Xbox 1080!
- KibibyteBrain, on 11/19/2008, -0/+1Standard computer + multiple video files playing at once + alt+tab. And you don't have to look like a zombie to do it.
