“The Space Interface is based on the idea that, to manipulate a virtual picture, using your hands is the most intuitive way. So, the camera detects the movement of your hands, and you can manipulate the virtual picture in ways that are firmly based on physical phenomena. If you take the bear’s hand, and move your hand up and down, the bear’s hand moves along with yours. Such realistic interactions are a feature of the Space Interface. We think it will probably be used for amusement applications, but as another possibility, this could be used as an interface for collaborative work, where several people share the same space while they’re wearing the glasses.”
“These ideas are still at the R&D stage, so we can’t say when they’ll become practical. But we think that, first of all, showing people such possibilities is one important role of R&D.”
In which industries do you think this technology would really be useful? Thoughts?
