if their smart enough to put it into consideration, i'm thinking they'll make it waterproof

Very pretty, but not usable. Imagine how tired your ARMS would be after just a few minutes using this. We use keyboards precisely because we can rest our wrists, and only have to move our fingers through very small distances. Keyboards WORK. This is pointless - the lava lamp? Big deal! What purpose does it serve? The photographer's lightbox is a complete mess - who wants their images to be in a big mess like that? Where are the picture names? Date created? Size (in kb).
Epic fail.

This is a technology demonstration, of course he wouldn't have developed a complete OS to work with the system. Do you think that when the mouse was invented, it was instantly usable with every single program in existence? Anyways, the technology he shows here is already being integrated into computers nowadays. Ever used an iPhone or the multitouch trackpad on a Macbook?

what a shitty idea. Think about all the damn finger prints on that screen. A BETTER idea - a neural interface.

this was amazing. I like the scalable keyboard. but can the virtual keyboard be programmed to modify itself to correct for ergonomic concerns... either manually or automatically? greast presentation

over time though, as its perfected it will start to come down in price.
