engadget.com — If you've been waiting for that Minority Report-style interface to really come to fruition, you can finally exhale. One of the science advisors from the Steven Spielberg film -- along with a team of other zany visionaries -- has created an honest-to-goodness, real-world implementation of the computer systems seen in the movie.

I have an experiment for you, hold your arms out away from your body so your hands are roughly level with your shoulders and maybe a foot away.Now stay that way for 8 hours.Let me know how you get on with that, if you can still move your arms enough to type afterward that is.

On the contrary, I believe the ability to have ...a. two cursors (one per hand),b. numerous gesturing functions per cursor,c. precise control over huge screen environments via pointing your hand, andd. multiple users using the above functions simultaneously... seems like quite an improvement to me. I think the examples in the video only begin to scratch the surface of its possible applications.

seems to me that 2 mice would be more practical than floating your arms and hands in the air...

You do realize that production cost of things 20 years ago in relation to the production cost of new tech today decreased because of a surge in industrial technologies, and silicone production. While as today we are at Maximum output on these things. It won't decrease as significantly.
