There’s a lot of interest in touchless interfaces for operating rooms, where people need to maintain a sterile environment. One of the problems with gesture technology is the lack of feedback that you get with current interfaces, such as the click and kinetic response a keyboard or clicking a mouse. My last company had developed a responsive touchless monitor but I think we had one doctor figure out how to really work it - guy said it saved lives. But not many because I guess no one else could handle it. It looked cool though.
I was interested in holographic buttons, which could give visual feedback - they exist but don’t work well.
So, ORs are one place that will likely adopt holographic technology when it advances.
