"No, we shouldn't expect to see this show up in the October Meerkat release, but it is a really interesting idea.

When a desktop is aware of its user, I can imagine all kinds of interesting scenarios. It could mean displays that are always in the proper focus to simple stuff like better screensavers. It could also lead to true 'Minority Report ' type displays where computer mice are obsolete and all you need to control and access your data is your body. Welcome to the future my friends."
