Minority Report with Nintendo Wii
published: January 3rd, 2008
The future is now. Both footages provide the same technology implemented in different ways. In the first footage we can see a part of the movie Minority Report
where Tom Cruz uses his hands to control a crime investigation software on a some kind flat screen surface. Very cool and useful, indeed.
In the second footage we can see the same effect but produced with the help of Nintendo Wii, without no doubt, the best product of 2007 and maybe even 2008.

Johnny Chung Lee (the name of this student, if I remember), from Camegie Mellon University, has done other interesting things with his wii.
My favorite one deals with head tracking, to simulate a 3D video game on a “normal” 2D screen!
