Multicopter

Multicopter

Sure, you can take a ride in a helicopter with one giant sinning rotor on top. However, why not go with sixteen smaller once.

This is multicopter from Germany. Like most new flying vehicles, the first flight was not long...

 By the way, if the multicopter loses four rotors, it can still stay aloft. I suppose that makes me feel safe in the midst of sixteen things that can chop me up like a blender...

I suppose that you will be paying to fly these at amusement parks? Yes, the multicopter is the balloon ride fo the next generation.

OmniTouch

OmniTouch

What you are seeing here is a project from Microsoft and Carnegie Mellon University, and it could easily be the future.

This OmniTouch has the amazing ability to turn any surface into a touchscreen. All of this is possible with this shoulder-mounted device that is both pico-projector and Kinect.

So if you want to use your hand to run applications, just hold it out and the proper buttons will appear. Forget about a tablet PC, all you need is just a paper tablet!

What I really like is how the user can just go to a nearby wall if they want to see an email. He or she can even finger paint on the wall, using their hand as a palette. Yes, the hand can be used as an interim interface, like when you want to project your display on your desk, for example.
