Let's talk about practical applications of this technology.. Porn. Nothing that requires two hands to navigate is ever going to "penetrate" the consumer market.

i like how this turns people into these big dumbfounded cats and dogs pawing at the screen like they were trying to get at some vital piece of meat scraps

@nukepuppy its easy to do - no it's not. But I agree. 2 years later and not one pratical non gimmick application yet

[Excelsoft]

easy!

In Minority Report Anderton uses a glove and he is not actually touching the screen. The screen in the movie is also curved. However, the hand gestures are similar to that of the movie, as is the fact that the screen is transparent.

Very nice, i need this type of interface.

People will just need getting some used to with this thing, but once they do, this'll change way we interact completely. Remember the Wii console and how it brought a new method of gestural interaction. Who would have thought people would get used to it and it'll be so popular...?

Multi-Touch provides such a great deal of control over your data. The ability for such a large group of people to use it is phenomenal! But there is a great deal of complexity. There has to be a very adaptive and scalable user-interface system setup to provide that control in an intuitive and easy to use way. You can see all my Multi-Touch concept videos at my channel: thenewtouch

Just thing of the possibilities. Interactive porn. ;)

[Keruaran]

That was my thought as well, while it looks great, it must have practical application, which is what it lacks at the moment. I think Apple have, at least for now, been quite savvy with the multi-touch finger pad on their Macbooks. Only need one hand.

I agree
