The guy in the Youtube link here seems kind of like he's dancing:

Sort through picture files and get your exercise at the same time!

Uhmm, if that's what is called a "presentation" I've got a lot of meetings to catch up on...:crazy: A lot of kudos from the commenters but I didn't see anything of much use, frankly. I'd like to see it done in a 'controlled' setting, one of some independent observers choice. Then, we might be able to see if it's all a bunch of photo editing or if there is a real use. I think of a 'presentation' as something that displays visual/audio/speech to bring attention to or provide information for a specific topic to a number of people. Not sure what a series of distracting images flowing across a 'screen' or room would be for. Rotating an image or changing its size with hand movements is fine but I expect all that to be complete before the 'presentation.' Of course, maybe that is all the 'information' this 'presentation' is meant to provide? :crazy:

It must be possible, I saw it on TV.

You know; the kid was being bullied, so he found a martial arts trainer in the holographic Yellow Pages.

Might be fine for a musical presentation or an artist 'painting'. But I sure don't want to have to wave my arms all over the place to move files or images.

Here's a link I found to another company who had a game setup in 1999 based on similar ideas and a precursor to the Wii for games:

He had his idea stolen by Sony:

Have you seen anything about the new bionic suits being developed? You put this apparatus on, and it increases your strength just like the fantasy limb replacements on the Six Million Dollar Man. It's quite bulky. Makes me wonder if the wearer gets tired using it.
