I don't know if you've seen Minority Report, but, it turns out that, in the interest of believability, the director had them design the cool computer interface like a design doc. Meaning, it had to (at least sorta) work.
Since then, its been refined and... it does work.
In fact, our current vision of the future is that in about 5 years, we'll have exactly that.
They don't mention it in the presentation, but, with the advent of 3D televisions (especially 3dH technologies, which, if you haven't heard of, has created 3D TV without glasses (very cool) via a spherically polarized screen. I was at their investment hearing 4 years ago, when the technology was still in its infancy.
Since then, many people have likely crafted a similar design, so I don't know who'll end up being the next VHS/BETA (or, for you younger pups, BLUE RAY/...that other one)
Amazing, how marketing plays such a key role in product choice. The other one was better, as was beta, but people just didn't like the name...
Anyhoo, off topic: Imagine, the future of children born in about a year or more. Imagine how they would look at a mouse, after growing up using...
Imagine the educational "play boxes" and toys for babies... Very cool world. Almost makes me want to delay the birth of my own child by a few years just so we can see the neat baby toys that'll be created...
