Microsoft developing a transparent, touchless interface

microsoft_transparent-touchless-display.jpg Since last couple of years we're very much into touchscreens. If that wasn't enough then Apple came along with its innovative multi-touch technology. And now when we look back then we wonder who in the hell we managed without using touchscreen devices. Now if you think this is it as far as computer "input" is concerned, then hold your breathe for a minute because Microsoft is currently developing an incredibly good method and efficient method of input -- a transparent, touchless interface that detects movement without any physical touch input.

If it doesn't require any physical touch input then how would it recognize inputs? Well, the technology enables display to recognize voices and touchless gestures. The system will also be able detect eyes and navigate based on their gaze.

In a way it would be pretty much like the upcoming Xbox 360 Project Natal.
