Presentations just got less complex. Forget about using pointers or a mouse to move items across a screen—you only need your hands (and a computer, of course, as well as a provided camera and specially devised gloves) to operate the GoodPoint system, created by Gesture Studios. Using technology developed by M.I.T. (and showcased by Tom Cruise in Minority Report), the interactive program allows users to control graphics, video, and multi media with a series of hand gestures. Presenters can move between multiple screens and drag images and information with them.
