   I'm not too floored by this considering all the parts you have to wear on your body to make it work. Seems like this technology isn't too different from the Wii.....

The speaker objects to the idea of Googling someone but is OK with waving hands in from of them?

   As she said, it is "Still a work in process" (I think she meant progress), and the technology is amazing. The possibilities for this are immeasurable! Once brought to open market, I'm sure it will be available in a smaller package. Very impressive.[Edited by Wendig0 on 2009-03-11 14:19:22]

[/quote]Did you watch the movie?There was no hand waving, it was based on some form of facial or voice recognition. Then the info was projected.Absolutely amazing.

Still relatively unimpressed - cute device and idea, implications, meh, just combining bunch of existing functions in one device.

   I imagine this is what phones will be in the not-too-distant future. A small, wearable device with nearly infinite possibilities. Now, where do you stick the printer?

    I'll never get yelled at by my wife for picking the wrong toilet paper again! yeay!I think the display might work better if it were laser based instead of incandescent light. It looked like some places it wasn't bright enough to read it. But, a work in progress. If it ever does replace some of the display on my phone I could get used to it.
