Technology: Jeff Han's freestyle interface

"Jeff Han is a research scientist for New York University's Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences. Here, he demonstrates--for the first time publicly--his intuitive, "interface-free," touch-driven computer screen, which can be manipulated intuitively with the fingertips, and responds to varying levels of pressure. (Recorded February 2006 in Monterey, CA. Duration: 09:32)"

(Finally, a superbly designed flat-panel version of the interface I imagined ten years ago in my ComputerUser editor-in-chief column! It even approaches the holographic-projection-based relative-position mechanics I imagined at that time. Think "Minority Report" and see this glimpse into the future!)
