Simbioz can already do this without the gloves and it is way better at designing interfaces that are easy to use. Not like this. The average joe blow will not want to learn all those crazy motions the speaker is doing to signal commands.

killer app happens when we can “think” about it and it happens on the screen, or use eye and facial movements to manipulate screen output.

I agree, that’s too much exerting movement to use the computer – keyboard and mouse is more efficient.

Remember developers, people are fundamentally lazy…go big with minimum effort/maximum gain

pardon, but Underkoffler’s vision is flawed in many ways. To start with, it is much harder to navigate data when there’s no frame of reference. When using a mouse, you have a desk (2D) and you look at the screen (2D)
In Oblong’s world, you have an un-restricted space to move (3D + HPR) and you look at a screen (2D) that shows 3D graphics.
To pick something with a mouse type device (or touch/Multi Touch screen) you have only a plane to worry about.
With Oblong’s interface you have to master a non – referenced 3D space, while gazing at a flat display of 3D content. Na, not for my mother…

Not impressed. Microsoft verdict will be released in the fall and is capable of doing many of the same things..

Agreed. I don’t think they’ve found anything close to a killer app for it.

I wonder if something that would be more interesting than all this motion detecting is eye tracking built into laptops/displays. That I think would afford a lot more practical user interface improvements.

For what it is worth, this presentation did anything but blow people’s minds at TED. It was infantile. The technology didn’t work. It was pretty unimpressive in every respect. There are amazing things shown and discussed at TED each year, but this was not one of them.
