i wonder when phones will get these sort of screens! the google earth rendering on this video was cool.

I wonder if this will be coming to android anytime soon. hope the cost is not prohibitive though, just needs some sort of motion sensor to detect hand movements and then the screen can be replaced with any crappy screen and neednt be a touch screen any longer i guess.

    The massive gestures required to work that kind of system may have applications in 3D rendering but would be completely useless in real life. Can you imagine walking down the street waving your arms, trying to send someone a text? I think not.

    As OneADay says - NEXT!!
    In the beginning, the universe was created. This made a lot of people very angry and was widely regarded as a bad move.
