Air Touch by DisplAir Projects and Controls Images Out of Thin Air

Air Touch by DisplAir Projects and Controls Images Out of Thin Air

A company based in southern Russia introduces a prototype technology that projects images into thin air and use gestures to manipulate them. The Air Touch system, developed by DisplAir, uses a stream of cold fog to display images and an intrared camera to detect gestures. Unlike the Microsoft Kinect that senses body movements, the Air Touch can be controlled just by the hands. The Air Touch has 0.2 second of lag time between gesture and computer reaction, which is slower compared to Kinect's 0.1 second lag time.
What is more impressive is that this award-winning technology was developed in a humble student dormitory.
