CINE is a mixed media environment -- "inspired by Star Trek: TNG's Holodeck" -- that allows "multiple users [to] fly through an urban datascape in an immersive environment by using body gestures". Video demonstration after the jump.

CINE takes the computer screen out of the box and reconfigures it as a life-size environment in the room. Control of visuals and sound takes place through full-body gestures rather than just fingers tips. As the traditional computer screen and mouse-keyboard interface transforms to fill the room, it invites collaboration between multiple users, setting up the potential for a whole new worlds of learning, art, creativity, play, and entertainment
