Microsoft Research Demos Touchless, Transparent Glass Display

Microsoft’s research division is doing tours across university campuses and rather than turning them into snoozefests they’re showing off an incredibly prototype. It’s a clear glass display which accepts input through voice control, touchless gestures, pen and eye-tracking.

iStartedSomething has videos showing the prototype in action, and it looks like it’s got quite some potential. I can’t wait until displays like this are sold so that I can control everything with foolish hand-waving. [iStartedSomething via Slashgeat]

    Did they explain what the benefits of a transparent display are? I mean, I’m all for the cool Minority Report look, but what is the benefit of being able to see through your monitor? Double as windows or something?

  • It will be nice to see this technology use in future devices.

    How does that even work?
