BiDi Screen, 3D gesture interaction in thin screen device
Via Chris Jablonski's blog
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have created a working prototype of a bidirectional LCD (captures and displays images) that allows a viewer to control on-screen objects without the need for any peripheral controllers or even touching the screen. In near Minority Report fashion, interaction is possible with just a wave of the hand.
The BiDi is inspired by emerging LCDs that use embedded optical sensors to detect multiple points of contact and exploits the spatial light modulation capability of LCDs to allow lensless imaging without interfering with display functionality. According to MIT researchers, this technology can lead to a wide range of applications, such as in-air gesture control of everything from CE devices like mobile phones to flat-panel TVs.

I would like to get my hands on that LCD. The technology or the implementation of that has come in time for people like us who are in need to make work easier.

3d interaction is really just at it's beginning... it's fun to see that some applications can be ported into this but it's very difficult to actually come up with something decent that is going to improve anything in real life. It's too laggy... the best way to describe it.

It sounds very futuristic, like the kind of equipment you would see in Star Trek. Now that we have a prototype of this bidirectional LCD that allows you to control on-screen objects without any peripheral controllers, I'm sure many uses will be found for it, in advanced physics, engineering and medicine.

This is indeed a technological breakthrough, but I'm curious about the date when it will be available for the general public to use. That is the real question people should ask.

This is indeed a new technology that would help a lot of people around the world. As any new technology, the date when it will be available to the public is probably about 2-3 years.

I would really like to wave my hand bye bye and my spam mail to go away. That would be really some I would appreciate to have installed on my computer. Looking forward to buying this technology on the market.
