I recently had the opportunity to watch Iron Man 2 which had tons of three dimensional holographic computer interfaces. While I am not going to be able to make your dashboard float out of the screen there is no reason it can’t seem like the technology Tony Stark has. All of the data he has, we have. The iPad is touch screen and capable of smooth high tech imagery and animation. The only reason these interfaces haven’t been commercialized is that they have been impractical for applications up until we decide that 3D semi-trasparent wireframes are cooler than the more iPhone-esk look of bevels and buttons. I am a big Iron Man fan so I’m going to invest some more time into this type of theme. Something that would make you feel as if you were Tony Stark and you could grab your iPad and talk to get an update from Jarvis. I don’t know about you but that sounds really interesting.
