Now, take a look again at Win8 and tell me where MSFT is betting the

interaction.


And, if you consider the recent advent of 3D in movies, I'd suggest
that long before 30 years has expired, we'll be using direct
interaction interfaces not too far removed from a holodeck.

I have not seen any great successes in 3D movies. There are people who
because of common eye problems can not watch 3D movies.

I believe they are like the areocar and the land/water vehicles, and
will always be the coming thing.
