This video demo by Jefferson Han, NYU researcher, of a new kind of screen interaction rocks. I’ve seen a lot of stuff like this inside Microsoft Research (at the end of this video, Andy Wilson does similar stuff).
Thanks to John Nack of Adobe Blogs for posting this (I put his post on my link blog).

Absolutely mind blowing. Apart from that, why aren’t there more companies using video to demo their wares?

It looks pretty and clever. but all he seems to do is click and drag with his hands. I don’t see any typing or such stuff. Am I missing something?

@2 Andrew, you can see typing in some of the other Jeff Han videos online. I posted links to these these on my blog Mickeleh’s Take last week in the wake of the iPhone demo.
“… Last February, Jeff Han rocked the room at the TED conference with a demo of multi-touch research from NYU. If you enjoyed the iPhone demo, this one is a treat. (And, yes, Jeff saw the keynote, too.)…”

We posted a video of a tabletop version of Han’s interface in March. It included typing. That’s my mellifluous voice.

Certainly makes a seductive dance, but what’s he accomplished when he’s done? Are we really going to stand in front of huge glass panels and throw windows around all day? What kind of tendon damage am I going to get typing a few thousand words into an on-screen image of a keyboard. I’ve worked at drafting tables the size of the display in Mitch Wagner’s link, and it’s actually very tiring to work on the entire surface. Most of the time one spends focusing on a detail - arms and backs aren’t suited to doing what Han is demoing for any length of time.
Not that this kind of stuff isn’t worth doing - we can certainly do better interfaces - but I don’t see this being a viable replacement pointer and input system.

Well… as someone who does a lot of sorting through images and image resizing at work (web design), this kind of interface is very appealing. The mouse and keyboard is great for most tasks, but even just the variety would be welcome - to avoid carpal tunnel.

That’s really cool… very hollywood ;)
I hope this doesn’t mean the future is long file delete and copying times, though.
