    haha this would be hilarious to see someone on the bus pointing at their screen and staring at it intently, sort of like if you were to see someone using ventrilo with a gigantic headset on. These things are really cool, don't get me wrong :) I think Nintendo is blazing a great trail as far as consoles go; pushing innovation rather than simply faster equipment. Hopefully this kind of peripheral will replace the clunky mouse eventually once and for all, and we'll all use our computers like Tom Cruise in the kick ass intro to Minority Report.

    Saw this is the last issue of Popular Science. Cool concept, but kind of far from being a product though.

    Same. It wasn't used on a LCD anyway. But once they implement it, I suppose it'll be pretty cool.
