Multitouch Holographic presentation

Obscura Digital developed a multi-touch (Though you are not touching anything!) 3D holographic projection technology. they use their own proprietary multi-touch software with Musion's Eyeliner 3D holographic projection system to generate the effect that we can see in movies like Star Wars and Minority Report. It actually traces persentator's hand movement to move the images or data objects. It really makes you feel like you are in the virtual world of data and images. The interface created with this technology is called VisionAir (Vision and Air). You can look at the video : VisionAir interface

Microsoft Surface Technology

Microsoft has some cool technology for the next generation advertising and touch screen systems called Surface.

It is the new way of interacting with digital contents. Surface combines the virtual world and real world experience together and when you see it the only word that can come out of your mouth is "WOW!". Surface is a digital tabletop that allows you to grab the data and move it from one place to another and let you interact with it physically. How exciting it is to zoom in and out of photos with your finger ? It even recognize the physical objects placed on tabletop like mobile phone or mp3 player.

JavaFX scripting Language

The JavaFX Script language also referred as JavaFX is a declarative and statically typed scripting language.It is easier way to create content-rich applications. It is the way to implement GUI applications declaratively rather then procedurally coding everything. There are plugins available for most of the major IDE's like NetBeans and Eclipse. Though there is no drag and drop facility available for JavaFX in any IDEs yet it is surprisingly and fairly simple to hand code the GUI. If you are not using any IDE then you can use the JavaFX Pad to code the JavaFX application. Those who are familiar with Swing and Java 2D find it more easier to learn.
