By putting a ton of tiny pinholes in an LCD screen MIT students have developed technology that can extrapolate 3D depth from a hand or perhaps any appendage at all! This can then be used to provide a 3D input to recognize your caveman like gestures. The process will force our children to sit even closer to the T.V. than they do already. Grease stains on my T.V. are just not the same if they don’t come from my finger.
