Probably the most practical application of touch-screen technology ever.
It enables the use of hand movements and voice commands to control your units in real time.

Does this seem ridiculously impractical to anyone else?

It would be impractical if it were actually for playing Warcraft. More likely this is the prototype for an actual command and control system that they're hoping to develop/sell to the government, or if not those people on camera, then someone in their organization.

But what they're demonstrating doesn't seem to add any value to the interface other than a novelty factor of using your voice to command.
Ignoring the fact that all their commands demonstrated seem to be more of a demonstration of Warcraft III commands (grouping units? I'd rather just select and press ctrl-1), I can't think of anything with a real-time constraint that I would prefer to do by voice and full hand commands rather than over a keyboard.

Re: Touch Screen Warcraft 3
It IS cool technology, but I can't see it being used for any multiplayer gaming, except for maybe chess or something. By the time he says "unit 2..." i'd already have 24 men attacking him. Then think how long its going to take him to command a specific unit/hero to cast a particular spell on a particular enemy or ally. "unit 3........cast.....holy light....here... oh wait hes dead already"
