Long ago in the Avatar (2009) movie there was a scene when a guy was walking with a tablet-like device displaying some info, then grabbed that info with some kind of hand gesture and threw that info on a wall-mounted screen.

This AR demo was the first thing I ever saw that did something comparable by taking the app off mac and opening it in VR. Now, I don't really want an AR glasses, but I absolutely want to grab things from my smartphone and display it on any nearby screen, and not in (clunky) Chromecast / Airplay way, but seamlessly.



Minority Report (2002) had a nice immersive space too.

I've long long long been a fan of wearable & ubiquitous computing. Having great gesture detection to do physical computing with would really be epic.


Wearing a personal sensor-net without it being also a VR headset might be nice - to control fixed screens around the room.
