No, it's not the name of a new Apple product :-) I don't often drool over new tech but this is pretty f'ing sweet.

I think I got the link from beltzner, not positive though.

reactions, thoughts, comments, etc.

Somehow I don't think the computer he used to do that would fit through my door...

It seems to be the same tech (and guy?) demo'ed at TED last year:

For a "do it yourself"-project that see:

It seems a bit more pragmatic since it don't use special hardware and don't take up a lot of room.

Here's something to try:

Stand in front of a wall

Hold your hands up like you are going to write on the wall

Gesticulate for 15 minutes, mimicking the motions in the video

Do that for an hour

Do that for two hours

Want to try for 8 hours?


It looks cool, but it's impractical for long term use. And how much window moving and resizing do you actually do? Not nearly so much as in that video.
