Multi-Touch Interfacing

This is a pretty amazing multi-touch sensing touch screen technology. You can actually use all your ten fingers (and your nose if ten fingers are not enough) at the same time. Another cool thing is the pressure sensing ability of the screen and the applications that can be built around it. In one of the applications in this demo you'll see pressure on the screen injecting heat into a lava lamp application and heating up the wax.

In another application you'll see that you can use your thumb and index finger to form an axis and then apply pressure from the other hand to tilt the display in 3-D around that axis, like while viewing 3-D maps etc.

Those features, the two finger gesture to zoom in and out and the ability for people to build applications and define their own gestures can really revolutionize the way we interface with computers today. The way we interface with computers today looks so outdated compared to this type of multi touch interfacing...Very Very Cool!!!
