Imagine if the little columns were smaller and sleeker
and on a much larger surface area. Yeah, this is extremely cool stuff. I often take my daughter to the Durham Life and Sciences Museum and her favorite thing there is something like this, except it isn't computer generated, it's a series of pins that you can press with your hand and you see the effect on the other end is an exact replica of your hand. I thought that is what would be happening here and was surprised when i saw him just motioning in thin air. -Super cool technology.

Oh yeah. Having the surface area be perhaps industrially sized, and having the motions be more nuanced and fine...man, this could be some really promising tech.
