Exciting! I have seen this type of technology, especially in the automotive industry, already begin to take effect. I think it that it is worth while to point out that this video is now two years old! We may see this kind of technology sooner than later. I am a big fan of sci-fi films and the technology that they create. We are catching up to the movies! Remember Iron Man? Tony Stark used a 3D interface to make his suit. I see the next step of computing moving into that direction -- and this video affirms it.
