It’s always good to see a new technical project get off the ground that has many practical uses, while at the same time presenting an amazing technology that everyone would be able to take advantage of. That’s exactly what we’re getting with Displair.

The product is the work of a new Russian startup which presents a touch-screen style interactive experience without the need of a tablet or phone. First shown at the Consumer Electronics Show earlier this year, the device uses a stream of humidified air to generate a static image that users can interact with, with their gestures ready by sensors built into the monitor.

Using said hand gestures, users can zoom in and out, scale and wipe with objects, the same way they would on a touch-screen. However, it does so with a more interactive display, one that is harmless to the user.

Displair has already been configured to work with a variety of apps, and a technical support team is on hand to help move application development along as the project takes shape.
