Here's one news that will put Alladin to shame. Seriously, Tsuyoshi Horo of Japan has designed a user interface system that is almost similar to Alladin's magic carpet concept. Based on human volume reconstruction principle, the system uses multiple cameras to empower this unique cube-on-wheels (or whatever it is) to understand human gestures. You just have to point your fingers in any direction and it will take you there on its own. Amazing, isn't it? Its a pity we can't fly it like the magic carpet.
