Minority Report-like interface on display at CeBIT
Posted in Tech/Sci News by Alex Sydell on March 11th, 2008
This year’s CeBIT has certainly had its share of surprises (police raids, anyone?). This Minority Report-like interface, captured on video by an attendee, is our favorite find from the show.
On display at the T-Online booth, the interface consists of a huge screen where several people can pretend to be Tom Cruise play with the device at the same time. Using just their hand, visitors can move objects around, rotate, resize, and interact with them.
Is this the beginning of a Pre-Crime department, or just another take on Microsoft’s Surface? Either way, it looks fun to play with, although we can’t imagine how practical the system would be. Check out a video after the jump.

Things heard at this display….
“Do you mind keeping your window on your side?”
“Would you stop throwing your window in my area!”
This is http://www.perceptivepixels.com technology! We presented after they did at a NYC Tech event in November. Awesome stuff! Very practical I can see this used at malls to find stores and stuff.
