    Uh, I dunno. I didn't get much from that video. Somehow the interface from Minority Report was bad but the interface from Chrysalis was great? To me, they look very similar. Then we're told the interface in The Fifth Element is brilliant, but to me it looked like a version of "the square peg fits into the square hole."

    Maybe I was just expecting too much.

    Or maybe the real conclusion is that there's nothing really to gain by watching 7 years worth of dorky sci-fi shows vs. trying to make interfaces for real.

    I hope that was a low-budget research project.
