Phantasmic furniture...

A Swedish design group, FRONT, has created the next generation technology for designing and manufacturing furniture, almost out of thin air ! People use their fingers to trace invisible strokes in the air to create models of furniture. These strokes and designs are captured by motion sensory equipment and then "manufactured" in liquid plastic by rapid prototyping technology!

Watch the video...

Of course, the video is more interesting to watch what with the designers being pretty Swedish women...
