TouchWall Seemingly Brings the "Minority Report" UI to Life

Remember Minority Report? The Tom Cruise movie, based on a Philip K. Dick short story, with one of the cool things being able to interface with a computer using gestures only? Microsoft's Surface seems to be a tabletop version of that interface, but during his keynote Wednesday at the CEO Summit, Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates showed off TouchWall, a 4-foot-by-6-foot touch-screen computer prototype which reminds me of nothing less than that same Minority Report UI.
