9 New Technologies That Are A Sci-Fi Fan's Wet Dream

4. Gesture Controlled UI

A true hallmark of futuristic sci-fi is the presence of a computer with a fully interactive, three-dimensional head-up display. People are able to interact with their high-tech, holographic interface with a simple swish and flick of the wrist and authoritative voice commands.

It seems as though both science fiction writers and real world developers think that gesture control is the way of the future, and more and more time and resources are being ploughed into developing systems that are slick, intuitive and oh-so-fancy.

Not only do they think that you should be able to control your devices with a wave of the hand, but they're adding another dimension to the digital world, allowing you to work with it in three dimensions.

This system, created by the same people that brought to the sleek interfaces in Minority Report, allows you to interact with the digital world in the same way you interact with the physical 3D world. Not only does this indicate what the the next generation of user interfaces might look like, but it'll make you feel super-futuristic as you use it to flick through Netflix.
