During the weeklong trial, prosecutors presented evidence to show that Spellman, 27, a devotee of Xbox-system video games, became enraged and hit the child repeatedly after she toppled and damaged the game player in a front room at the Brewerytown house he shared with his brother."

Inspired by Johnny Chung Lee's work, the system requires you to wear Minority Report-style gloves equipped with infrared emitters on your fingertips. A Wiimote on top of the display keeps track of these IR LEDs, while the software can read the motion down to two-finger pinching gestures for image zooming. Hopefuly, using it won't convert you into a sofa-jumping, grinning-crazy, Scientology-member maniac.
