reacTABLE
In response to comments left by my good friend CMFW, I bring what to you what makes me really excited about multi-touch interfaces, the ReacTable Wikipedia Link
Multitouch may not be the most efficient way to work 8-10 hours a day, but it makes for a really great musical/video performance interface. A keyboard and mouse isn’t exactly as inspiring as keyboard or drum. I just bought an Akai MDP24 for a Pink Skull show we’re doing Friday and it’s nice but it’d be really nice to have a fully configurable interface to perform and write with. I’m thinking we’re about 3 years away from an affordable consumer model.

Microsoft Surface
Microsoft just announced their new Surface product. It’s a coffee table sized monitor with a multi-touch (more than one finger) touch screen interface. I think it has amazing possibilities I’m finally glad someone is coming up with an option to the mouse/keyboard interface. It’s a start anyway. It also seems like something Apple would have done, had they not have had so much success with the iPod/iPhone.
I really want Minority Report type interfaces..giant screen, actually moving stuff around with your hands and arms. At the very least, it’ll cut down on carpal tunnel syndrome a bit.
