[edit] gesture recognition
Gesture Recognition is a way for computers to understand human body language using mathematical algorithms. Gestures can be from bodily motion or state, but are usually from the face or hand. Using 2 video stereo cameras together with a positioning reference allows people to interact naturally without the use of mechanical devices. For example, you could point a finger at the computer screen and the cursor will move accordingly on the screen.

[edit] emotion recognition
Technology is constantly evolving; it seems that every time something new emerges, something better is not far behind! Computers are our main source of technology and humans consistently try to improve them. A glimpse into the future shows the possibility of computers that can interact with human beings. Research shows that in order to create a computer with 'artificial intelligence', that is, one that can interact with humans, the machine would need to be able to read human emotion. Many theories have come about as to how this would be possible, but the most popular one seems to be a camera attached to the computer that would read the facial expressions of its user. The computer would turn the facial expression into a formula that the device could read and interpret. Of course this idea is still in its research stages and requires time to formulate.

[edit] DirecTV
DirecTV (trademarked as "DIRECTV") is a direct broadcast satellite (DBS) service. DirecTV transmits digital satellite television and audio to households across North and South America. Satelittes such as direcTV are becoming more and more popular as they make it possible for the users to never leave the comfort of their home to enjoy the most recent video releases.

[edit] 3D screen
Three-dimensional printing is a method of converting a virtual 3D model into a physical object. 3D printing is a category of rapid prototyping technology. 3D printers typically work by 'printing' successive layers on top of the previous to build up a three dimensional object. 3D printers are generally faster, more affordable and easier to use than other additive fabrication technologies.

[edit] 3D printing
3D Printing is the method of converting a virtual 3D model into a physical object. It is categorized as a type of rapid prototyping technology. These printers work by printing multiple layers on top of the previous layer to build a three dimensional object. 3D printing is generally built for speed, low cost, and ease-of-use, making it suitable for visualizing a design when dimensional accuracy and mechanical strength of prototypes are less important.
3D Printing technology is currently being considered and studied by firms for use in tissue engineering applications in which the organs and body parts are built using inkjet techniques.w:en:3D_printing
