Art of the Possible: Minority Report UI w/ Wii Remote
As Johnny Lee, the creator of this fine hack, points out himself, the multi-point free-space interaction of the "Minority Report"-like UI is both slightly tiring as well as not uniformly useful. That said, the hack is not only delightfully geeky and inexpensive, it also shows some interesting couch-based UI opportunities.
Combining an infrared emitting panel, a little reflective tape for his finger tips, and a Wii Remote to detect the multiple points of returned infrared light, you can see a free-space version of the iPhone pinch/expand/rotate/etc. UI in the video below. For the impatient, the most interesting part is from 2:20 onward...
