CRISTAL - Control of Remotely Interfaced Systems using Touch-based Actions in Living spaces

http://mi-lab.org/projects/cristal/ CRISTAL simplifies the control of our digital devices in and around the living room. The system provides a novel experience for controlling devices in a home environment by enabling users to directly interact with those devices on a live video image of their living room using multi-touch gestures on a digital tabletop.

Looks cool until it goes batshit crazy and murders your entire family.

I agree. I totally love the interface, but it makes me realise that the fact that it is the effort required to do something that gives them the value~~ finding photos in the old shed is special, browsing photos in an ever-available system is not~~

as said, systems too convenient just turns people in lazy asses

The tech is not fake. you can make this with relative ease, but it costs a lot. just look at instructables. look for multi touch ir display.
