   Well, yeah. That makes multi-touch interfaces look pretty lame, doesn’t it? When it gets down to “physically” navigating very large data sets in 3D space is when I sigh, and say, “yup, that’s cool.” Anyone care to guess how long it will be before something like this starts showing up on phone UIs?

   but it doesn’t solve gorilla arm (google it). you cannot have a person making gestures all day in mid air without some seriously sore muscles. hold your arm out for a few minutes at 90 degrees and see how quickly you tire.

   but a beautiful demonstation of a very fluid interface.

   Do you guys watch Knight Rider. They use a whole lot of gesture controls and multi touch to control the computer in the show. It’s all fake of course, but it looks really cool. It is cool to see people really working on these technologies.

   FYI – I emailed Oblong and got a reply with the music info from John Underkoffler:

   The track is “Lamp Mien” from Deaf Center’s album “Pale Ravine”. Deaf Center is on the label Type Records.

   Thanks for the pointer to the geekbrief.tv coverage.
