A Taiwan-based nonprofit research and development organization announced last week a virtual display that allows users to control virtual keyboards and touchscreens that float out in front of users.

The Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) said its new technology uses special glasses and DDDR (defined distance with defined range) camera technology to allow users to see and interact with virtual data, images, and devices with finger strokes.

The heads-up display technology resembles the sci-fi technology displayed in the movie Minority Report, starring Tom Cruise. A similar effort was shown at the Consumer Electronics Show this year.

The new i-Air Touch technology is being developed for an array of devices, including PCs and laptops, wearable computers, and mobile devices, that allows a user's hand to be free of any physical device such as a touchpad or keyboard for touch input.
