Headline
While touch sensing is commonplace for single points of contact, multi-touch sensing enables a user to interact with a system with more than one finger at a time, as in chording and bi-manual operations.

Such sensing devices are inherently also able to accommodate multiple users simultaneously, which is especially useful for larger interaction scenarios such as interactive walls and tabletops.

Pretty cool. I guess a few years from now we'll look back at this video and say, "Meh, no big deal."

The problem is, inevitably you end up with a device that is just covered with finger smears.

Re: Multi-Touch Interaction Experiments
You ain't kidding about what's cool today is old hat in a heartbeat. Look at the original Star Trek series and the size of the screens that everyone used to look into at the conference tables. And how Spock shuffled disks around the size of 3.5" floppies when he was working at the computer. Hell, that was supposed to be the 24th Century?
