The company's new VisionAire tech can sense where a presenter's hands are, letting him or her manipulate a 3D hologram. The holograms are multi-touch, too, so you can zoom, spin or shrink images by using both hands — just like <A href="http://dvice.com/archives/2008/04/microsoft_surfa.php" linkindex="99" set="yes">Microsoft Surface</A> (though in this case, surfaceless). </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://dvice.com/archives/2008/08/minority_report.php">VisionAire uses the <A href="http://www.eyeliner3d.com/" linkindex="100" set="yes">Musion Eyeliner holographic projection system</A>, implementing Obscura's proprietary multi-touch tech. The result is unquestionably cool but requires a significant amount of space and cash to pull off, so it would be strictly for big events for now. For something similar but probably more affordable, you might try a <A href="http://dvice.com/archives/2007/03/02/heliodisplay_h3.html" linkindex="101">Heliodisplay</A>.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/4A7A80FE-132B-4AA1-8935-E7F8F09CDCBE/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
