VIDEO: Get Your Hands On Your Information


Posted by Mitch Wagner, Mar 8, 2006 09:24 PM

If you've ever been frustrated by the limitations of your monitor-keyboard-mouse windowing display, you'll love this demo of a tabletop computer display that lets you manipulate data with your hands, drawing, resizing, and moving objects on a touch screen with one finger, more than one finger, or your whole hand, as well as creating an infinite amount of space on the desktop to work.

The developer is Jeff Han, a consulting research scientist at New York University's Department of Computer Science. You can watch the video in the little box below--ain't our new inline player grand?--or download it.

You'll find more information and more nifty demo videos at Han's Web site.

The video runs about 2 minutes, 45 seconds.
