MIT Researcher develops PC with 3D Virtual True Touch

So the computer has a transparent Screen, a camera on the screen, a keyboard with track-pad behind the screen and a set of cameras above the keyboard. These components amazingly work together to give the user a Holographic view that adapts to the user's point of view. The user with his hands can operate projects on the computer in 3D. The prototype is still a little slow and has some ragged edges, but definitely has the potential to be something truly awesome!

That looks like an awesome way to interact with your computer!

One step closer to Star Trek screens where anybody gets a different view at whatever angle they're at.

How uncomfortable must that be to use? You are pretty much limited to one position for your arms, underneath the screen, and you're also really close to the screen as well.

Better application would be creating a dividing wall between living room and kitchen with one of these things. Not to mention making windows out of em.
