Multitouch: The future of interface design

Created by Catherine Howell (University of Cambridge) on February 16, 2006
This video is, quite simply, the most compelling demonstration I have ever seen for an alternative computer interface design.

It's beautiful, as well as intuitive.

Jeff Han's Multi-Touch Interaction Research page describes the project. See also the discussion on this NASA web forum. (Yes, that's NASA as in rocket science!)

The video has been massively popular, so you may have problems accessing the version linked from Jeff's page -- try the link I've given at the top.

Matt, the demo sounds fantastic. Those of us in the UK will just have to hope that someone brings it over to a local tradeshow or conference soon -- maybe this spring? (hint, hint!)

I'm at O'Reilly's ETECH conference right now and just saw a live demo. WOW! Very, very cool. The possibilities for same screen collaboration, information visualization, creative composition, intutitive user interfaces, and who knows what else are really fascinating.
