The concepts of the various technology seen in the movie Minority Report seem to be rather popular, and given the rate at which technology is progressing, it's only a matter of time before we see it being made into reality, and based on a recent Apple patent, it looks like perhaps that future may not be as far off as we think. However it seems that some are thinking that the patent sounds more like Microsoft's Xbox's Kinect rather than Minority Report, since the patent describes a projector with a scanning beam that picks up the user's movements via a receiver, which would be a secondary device, much like the Kinect.
