A thing in the future is almost at hand!
'Minority Report' tech only 3 years away – M'soft boss
Major advances in computer technology will soon see humans interacting with avatars and controlling computers with gestures similar to the ones seen in the film 'Minority Report', Microsoft’s Chief Research and Strategy Officer Craig Mundie told Arabian Business.
“The gains that are now going to come, starting in about 2012, may be potentially as much as a factor of 50 to 100… That begs the question, what are you going to do with it?” Mundie, who is second in charge of the company, said.
“Everyone who looks at (the technology in action) says ‘wow, this is like Minority Report.’ But theirs was fake and this thing is more or less real. We do have technology that will do these things, not just camera stunts that will make it look like it. These things are really going to happen. This 50 or 100 times performance gain gives us for the first time enough compute capability to do these human sensory type of interactions, multiple at a time, and therefore leave behind in many cases the need to use mice and keyboards,” he said.
