This is cool. They've developed a display where you can touch and rotate 3D objects without a VR headset.

“It feels really soft, actually. It tickles a bit,” says Bouzbib, whose group will showcase the device April 30 at the CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems in Yokohama, Japan.

These hands-on displays might be used to create more immersive video games, educational tools and museum exhibits.

A UI that you can actually touch is pretty awesome. Reading that it has texture when you touch it is pretty unique!

Can't wait to use interfaces like Tony Stark's, or even what we saw in Minority Report.

Yeah, the holodeck is coming, maybe not in our lifetime, but eventually.

I agree that the holodeck is coming. But I do think it will be in our lifetime. With all the ET tech out there, I don't think it can possibly literally take millennia for us to develop advanced, extraordinary tech. In fact, we most likely had this kind of tech back in ancient times!

I hope so. That would be so awesome.
