Back in February I posted a blog entry about 3VD which was developing a imaging system that could detect in-the-air gestures in all three dimensions.The technology has continued to evolve as evidenced in the video from CES 2008.
The boxing demonstration reminds me of the scene in "The Island" where McGregger and Johanasson characters duke it out using holographic avatars. It was a cool scene and it looks like, once again, the Science Fiction of the movies are about to be realized with today's technologies. Microsoft is rumored to be integrating the 3VD technology with its XBox 360 to create a Wii-Killer.
Beyond Video games 3DV technology could allow for more accurate, responsive, and most importantly much cheaper technology for free-form gestures in productivity applications.
