Who didn't like how the computers in Minority Report worked?
That was the movie version. Here is real life!

Now if that isn't cool to all ages? What possibly could be??
Now this is doing it by physical interface with a device, and this system isn't reading mid-air movement. However, it's just a modification away I'd think, as the V.R. tech running parallel for other systems would fill that gap nicely, wouldn't it?
The parting words are ones to ponder, to be sure.......

"Our new technology challenges the notion of what a cursor is and does," explained lead researcher Professor Tomás Dorta, of the university's School of Design. "The cursor becomes a drawing and controlling plane". The techniques we're unveiling today involves using a tablet to control the cursor, but as it does not necessarily rely on external tracking of the user's movements, eventually other devices could be used, such as smart phones or watches."

This isn't a gimmicky rebirth of the cursor, it's about rethinking how humans interact with computers as part of the creative process," Dorta said.
