New form of HCI

My apologies, I wanted to post this earlier around the time we visited the HIT lab. This video demonstrates the potential of a multi-touch interface. I can envision a group of people gathered around something like this looking at blueprints, where anyone could manipulate or add to the print by just touching the screen. They wouldn't have to worry about finding a keyboard or passing around a mouse. I was reminded of this when we were playing with the IR pong table. I think Janice was thinking the same thing. I think it would be neat if AR was integrated to it some how. The AR stuff just blew me away.
