The Future of Design ... and Maybe 3D Sculpting

This is very cool.

It's not really what you think, you can't do any work with it, the best it can do is allow you to rotate and zoom stuff, and that's really it.

I wish they would have built a Mk.VII instead, and link it to these:

I'm actually guessing there will probably be numerous smart tools and controls in the future. So imagine working on something small and being able to blow it up huge so you can make small detail adjustments, or holding a virtual pen or sculpting knife in your hand--it would take some getting use to the virtual space of course. The point of this is that a UI like this might allow people to work much more intuitively and organically. I'm a senior creative director overseeing design and video production, and we've already been talking about the possibilities. I have a WACOM tablet on my desk for Photoshop work, but this would be so much faster. I could see this merging traditional and digital sculpting in a very cool way.

It's an interesting enough concept video, but it'll be some time before the tools become refined enough to make the design process easier and more intuitive than using a graphics tablet or cintiq. And the mouse on his desk... surely that's a prop

Unless they can make a true holographic display, it's not going to be useful for anything because there's no reference between where to put your hands and the thing you're working on, that's why it's useless.
And even then, who wants to hold up their arms and wave your hands around all day to get work done, not very practical at all.
All the Leap motion sensor is good for is cool little demos, like the one he gave, that's it.

That's some Tony Stark s**t right there.
