Check out this video of a cool new computer Interface that's just around the corner! :)
Yes, I'm a big time computer geek, but I think just about everybody will want one of these bad boys!
I certainly do! :)

While I'm on this Computer Interface kick.
Here's an interesting virtual reality interface in development called "Virtual Fluid".
Virtual Fluid
Inition present us a exciting new technology that allows full-body, unencumbered interaction within a virtual environment, enabling the user to interact using nothing more than the movements of his/her body. This sort of interaction relies on digital cameras interfaced to the PC to pick up motion.
Using high-end image-processing techniques (only recently possbile on PCs), the images from the camera are converted into useful data on how a person is moving. The captured video image of the user is shown on a screen (anything from a CRT monitor to a large projected display) embedded within the interactive environment (this is sometimes called ‘projected-reality’). Not requiring the user to don a headset, gloves or tracking device, interactions using this technology open up many new possibilities for bringing interactive virtual worlds into a public setting.
Check out the video here --> http://blog.pcnews.ro/2006/08/15/virtual-fluid/
Scroll down a little bit to see the video.
While not as jaw dropping as the Jeff Han intuitive "Interface-free" device above, this technology also has a lot of potential.

So cool seek!
I went into the kitchen design, its like the game Sims2. I love that game one of my favoirites. Makes sense to have a tool like this these days, if they can make a game as great as the Sims2
