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?

not windows, but perhaps windscreens

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