Image database search using a drawing interface

Imagine searching a database of images by drawing what you are searching for. Retrievr seems to be a Flickr hack. prediction for the furture of this technology?

this will evolve into a future of visual database searches, someone is right now working on a system where in a person will wear a digital-tactile glove with a wireless connectivity to a huge database of images (has images loaded on from the time the first image was recorded on any media, starting from daguerreotype, the first film, first 8mm, every single frame that has been ever recorded by humankind)

and how will the digitial-tactile glove work as an input device, you wave your hands in the air, drawing images of what you want in the air.

the software quickly scans the database and starts displaying all the images which it can find on the huge 3000 square feet projection display system.
