Jeff Han shows another demo of his very intuitive multi-touch touch-screen interface:

I am especially interested in how this can be used to enhance productivity when working with multimedia and design applications. Drilling-down and up with huge Business intelligence data-warehouses could be made more intuitive too. The collaborative aspect is also certainly very impressive.

The multiple-finger touch and move gestures may be put to great use while controlling MIDI parameters for objects more complex than an X-Y controller I imagine.

    Hi Steve, I'm interested in learning about it too. There isn't much published by Perceptive Pixel, but there are some interesting pics which give an idea of how the finger tracking is made and collapsed to pixel-precise information.

    The term for this kind of research is called motion-based hand-tracking, or motion-based finger-tracking. There's a lot you can find on the net from there. An great open-source library is OpenCV, and an application of it is HandVU.

    I would like to learn more about the technology, for operator interface, command and control issues...
