    This UI tech better come to fruition... I really love the variable projection. I really want one of these.

    Awesome tech. Though, it seems proximity to the screen would have a narrow range for the projected image. I would think the image would only be in focus at certain distances from the screen without needing adjustment. A minor gripe for some otherwise astounding bit of tech.

    @Tweak: Move your hand in front of your face and away quickly. Repeat a lot and at super high speeds. You'll see both your hand (the on screen image) and your monitor (the projected image) at the same time if you did it fast enough. Though, the screen isn't moving like your hand would be. It's just turning from opaque to transparent and back again very rapidly.

    Interesting, isn't it, that the human visual processing system has so many peculiarites to exploit for improving computer UIs?

    @Derry Quinn: Microsoft actually has quite a large active R&D branch that makes some amazing stuff. As their a company though, they're to large to dump their entire user-base to introduce some of these techs unlike some other companies in their mainstream products. My hope is that baby steps will get more of these innovations out there rather then them trying to release a super-nebulous idea and failing during execution.
