There's no shortage of fiction in all three Iron Man movies, but the real man who inspired
how Tony Stark was portrayed in recent films, says he is making at least one cool idea from
the big screen a reality.
You know that now famous hand gesture technology from the Iron Movies? Well, billionaire inventor
Elon Musk said he can recreate that, tweeting... (via Paramount Pictures)
"We figured out how to design rocket parts just w hand movements through the air (seriously).
Now need a high frame rate holograph generator." He followed that up by saying a video of the
new tech will be uploaded next week. (via Twitter / @elonmusk)
But if you think billionaires are way beyond getting ideas from comic book character movies
you'd be wrong, that's exactly where his idea came from.
The director of Iron Man asked Musk if the new designing process was like the one in
Iron Man to which Musk responded. "Yup. We saw it in the movie and made it real. Good
idea!" (via Twitter / @elonmusk)
Now, this isn't the first attempt from the tech world to recreate everyday norms from
Tony Stark's world. Developer, Robbie Tilton, made a video controlling this 3D image with
Leap Motion gesture technology. (via robbietilton.com)
No details have been given about how Musk plans to pull this off but the tech world
seems pretty excited about it.
Gizmodo wrote, "This better not be a joke... How could this not be cool?"
While CNET added, "We're looking forward to next week's video."
And just to put an end to that other rumor... Musk told the 'zillionth' person there is
no full Iron Man suit to look forward to. (via Twitter / @elonmusk)
