Rinpoche

Back in those days, we saw things like these only in movies.

The "Minority Report" interface
again, the "Minority Report" interface
The flexible roll-out display.
the proposed 3D windows interface
aw crap, the screen is so invisible I'd just try to walk through!

Guess what, a guy at IITB built it way earlier than any of these guys!


He loved his ancient laptop so much that even after the back-light in his screen burned out, he continued using it with an extremely bright CFL as a backlight. The real test came when half the keys on his keyboard bid farewell to the rest of the assembly, and he started developing the hand gesture UI technology.

Alright; enough. Dude - get rid of that thing; NOW!

PS : In case you are seriously thinking of starting a flamewar on who invented that stuff, all this was a fart.
He is still alive and is a database expert, about to graduate.
