Ever since the movie Minority Report came out in 2002, large touch screens have been compared to the infamous one in the movie. This year at CES, Intel showed off a rough prototype touch screen that involved projecting an image from the rear onto a piece of glass. We don’t have many details other than what we saw with our own eyes, but it seemed that the piece of glass was rigged with some capacitive sensors between two pieces of glass, and it was powered by Intel’s new Core i7 chip.

The man that you see on the stage in the photo above is a magician. Actually, he’s probably some representative for a company called Obscura Digital, but what he is doing is pure magic.

His little performance involves waving his hands, and images of photos appear before him. The pictures also move with a little motion-controlled telekinesis. The images are holograms, and I would like to think that one day we will all browse through our photos in the same way.

It kind of works like the Microsoft Surface, except that there is no Surface. So what would you call it, the Air? Be sure to see the video of this new technology in action after the jump, because this guy also does this weird trick of drawing with light that you will also need to see to believe.
