As much as I love the iPhone, I can’t stand getting fingerprints all over the phone’s beautiful glossy screen. So I was jazzed when the guys over at Norway’s Elliptic Labs let me know about their new touchless user interface technology.
This is breath taking invention, whereas Software Giant Microsoft is busy with its so called Surface Technology, this invention would distract them and they might have to reconsider their technology.
Just think, if a user can sit comfortably at distance and easily control all his operations on his PC, why would anybody think of Surface Technology, where the user has to sit near the Surface!!
The system is capable of detecting movements in 3-dimensions without ever having to put your fingers on the screen.
Their patented touchless interface doesn’t require that you wear any special sensors on your hand either. You just point at the screen (from as far as 5 feet away), and you can manipulate objects in 3D.
Elliptic says the technology is compact enough that it could eventually be embedded into mobile devices. Representatives of the company will be on hand at the upcoming GDC show in San Francisco this February to show off their system in person.
I am really waiting for this technology to launch soon so that this would be a tight slap on Microsoft's Surface Technology.
Hail Maicrosoft!!
