Video: TV gets converted into Touchless Microsoft Surface thanks to Wiimote hack

No we love hacks and good technology and this news will be right up your street if you love the Touchless Microsoft Surface. Oh yes a Wiimote hack converts TV into Touchless Microsoft Surface has now been achieved.

Please watch the video below for more info, basically the user interface project will allow you to control objects on a display using gestures, you know like that working on the Microsoft’s Surface but without touching the screen at all.

This idea is all thanks to Johnny Chung Lee’s work, the system will require you to wear some special gloves like that of Minority Report movie, the gloves come equipped with infrared emitters on your fingertips and a Wiimote which you will have on top of your display will keep track of these IR LEDs, then the software can read the motion down to the awesome two-finger pinching gestures for image zooming. Watch the video clip below.

Oh we just love science.
