Holographic Keyboards, Displays... coming?

[DomeBase]

"BeamOne utilizes a combination of holographic imaging and wave source sensors to hover a simulation of a computer’s keyboard or on-screen interface in front of the screen. The user "touches" these patches of air, and infrared sensors detect movement within the hotspots and pass the information along to the machine. As far as the computer knows, it could have just as easily received the data from a traditional keyboard."

Perhaps holographic keyboards and displays will move from science fiction to reality sooner rather than later?

It will be cool but weird... think just touching the air.
