A lot of press has been given to a recent invention of a group of undergraduate students at WPI that has the potential to revolutionize navigation in a 3D Environment. The Air Mouse is designed to allow users to control and manipulate items on a computer screen just by pointing at the monitor.
We view this as a significant development because the easier it is to navigate and interact in 3D environments the quicker it will become mainstream. Imagine being able to navigate and interact with a 3D Walkthrough by simply pointing your finger to where you want to go. Think Minority Report.
Here is an article about this new invention from Gizmag online magazine.
